YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In “Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation”, Bill Nye urged caution about GMOs. But recently, Bill Nye famously changed his mind about GMOs. Now, as Bill explains to Chuck Nice, by using GMOs we’ll be able to raise more food on less land and feed more people. In this video, Bill talks about the science behind his reversal. You’ll hear about glyphosate, Shikimic acid pathway, Round-Up Ready® soybeans, corn, cotton, pigweed, and of course, the “be-hated Monsanto.”

This "Behind the Scenes" video was shot during the recording of our episode, " Cosmic QueriesGMOs with Bill Nye (Part 1)." If you'd like to listen to the full podcast, click here
