Video: ABCs of GMOs

If you’re as confused as I am when it comes to genetically modified food (GMO) and what it means for your health, the environment (and what’s for supper), then check out how Bill Nye, aka the Science Guy, breaks it down. The video above, is the first portion of an episode from his 2005 public television series, “The Eyes of Nye.” It’s probably the best layman’s tutorial on the basics of genetically engineered food, with plenty of room for the viewer to come to his own conclusion.

If you like Part one, here’s Parts two and three.

Many thanks to Civil Eats contributor Anna Ghosh, who resurrected the Nye videos in a post about an upcoming GMO-centric panel discussion in San Francisco.

    About Me

    You might know me from The Washington Post, where for a dozen years I dished up cooking content, both as Web chat hostess ("What's Cooking") and daily blog minx ("A Mighty Appetite").

    To the table, I offer a stew of journalism (total = 16 years) and cooking smarts (a graduate of the Institute of Culinary Education), served with a side of life-long curiosity.

    Home is Seattle for now, but until last year was parked on the east coast, born and raised outside of Philadelphia, where H20 is pronounced "wooder."

    In addition to the Post, I have written for Real Simple, Smithsonian.com and Culinate, where I host "Table Talk," a weekly chat every Thursday (1 pm ET/ 10a PT).
