5:54Now PlayingNow that Bill Nye has famously changed his opinion about GMOs, a fan thinks Bill is the perfect person to discuss their pros and cons. Watch Bill Nye the Science Guy play devil's advocate and outline the beneficial and non-beneficial aspects of using GMOs.

Don’t miss comic co-host Chuck Nice’s hilarious imitation of a worker bee’s take on the issue of monoculture farming.
