We're here because this place  has been at the center

of a fierce debate  about whether we should grow

And that question is only getting more important.

At the current rate,  we will have to grow more food

in the next 30 years  than we have in all  of human history.

Doing that without destroying the environment that we live in

will be one of the defining challenges of our generation.

we'll have to engineer  the genes of our food.

But the safety of  that technology has been  controversial for decades.

So, should we be worried about genetically modified food?

Chocolate peanut butter. Chocolate peanut butter.

- It's really good? - I can't tell if that   was good or bad.

It's Reese's peanut butter for breakfast.

- We are here in my home. - "We are here in my home."

I have brought you guys here to talk about GMOs.

I'm curious to hear how you grew up thinking about them.

'Cause for me, I was-- I was definitely taught that

In my family, it was just never something that was talked about ever.

I was taught that the big business around GMOs

All these labels started appearing, like this one,

"Non-GMO project verified," which seems to signal to people

that there's something harmful about GMOs.

There's one thing at this table that does contain

genetically modified organisms and is labeled as such.

- And I'm curious if y'all   can find it. - Huh.

- It's not the coffee. - This one says non-GMO.

It's the one that y'all haven't looked at yet.

"Partially produced with genetic engineering." It is the Cheerios.

Alex: Oh, there it is. It's at the very bottom of the box.

If you look through the ingredients, you can see whole grain oats,

sugar, peanut butter, dextrose, corn starch,

and corn syrup, and corn that was probably produced with genetic engineering.

In a way, it's almost like a status symbol for your foods

if you're able to identify that all your foods have

Cleo: I guess my question to you, Christophe,

is it a good label? Like, is that something that I should be looking for?

The future is now, at least in terms of the American diet.

Genetically altered tomatoes are a step closer to your supermarket tonight.

The new tomatoes will soon be on a store shelf near you.

When it hit shelves, it became the first commercial crop that was genetically modified.

What followed was a new generation of bio-engineering initiatives

a GMO enriched with beta keratin to combat blindness and death

Researchers believe they have found a way

Man: Vitamin A deficiency  is a pervasive and silent  killer

of malnourished children  in the third world.

But over the next few years, public perception of GMOs

As long as it was-- it was healthy, you know?

No-- no health risks. Yeah, I'd consider it.

Other labs tried to replicate that study and found that it wasn't true.

One side says that modifying food is totally harmless

and the other side says that it's a serious threat to us.

They take viruses and bacteria and insecticides

All right. So genetic engineering works by taking a tiny piece of DNA

from one organism and putting it inside of another organism.

It is a set of instructions that tells the organism

You can kind of think of that like taking a recipe

from one cookbook and putting it inside of another one.
