Yes! I love your merch! Its so simple but so professional!
Really Kurzgesagt? This video you abandoned two years ago has been completely un-moderated against malicious troll attacks but you come back here to ask us to buy shit from YOU?????? TAKE A LOOK at the mess you left here!!!!!
@@popeyegordon Dude chill, you've been going around attacking people on this comment section like a maniac.
@@davidmarji9747 Look closer. In every case, without exception, I am responding in defense of our honest hard working farmers and scientists AFTER ignorant genetically illiterate trolls post the insults FIRST. I will never stop defending science truth from those who would prefer to reverse progress. They are all 100% assholes.
Fear is the greatest enemy; knowledge the greatest ally. Do not fear what you do not understand. Learn.
EdricLysharae That is the most epic madlad quote I have ever seen.
Unfortunately we dont know exactly what happens to the gmo food when it's broken down to the molecular level and absorbed by our bodies
oh, I completely understood. I have done my own research and come to the conclusion that a good percent of our population is just scientifically illiterate.
GMO food breaks down the way normal food does.
GMO food comes from living things that is also genetically modified.
But it stays as a living thing & its not some kind of Fallout monster exposed to radiation.
The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge.
I'm stealing this.
Thats what ignorance is.
I'm stealing this too!

Actually that quote is more supportive of natural immunity than a shot, if you consider the the role of natural genetic selection in human development.
@@kfiralfiavideo depends on the viewpoint imo. Vaccines are the precursor tech to genetic immunity.

spy the buttsecks lol, that’s the best comment here :) very clever
1. Ha. Almost missed who said that last line.
2. Now I can't help but think GMO is a racist term now.
spy the buttsecks haaaaaa xd
In a world we’re carrots can talk
Not sure what made me laugh more, the comment or name.
My grandpa (may he rest in peace) "genetically engineered" a watermelon variety through selective breeding over a couple of decades. Sadly, this variety is gone, it died with him. He spent decades saving seeds from the tastiest and sweetest watermelons from his garden. The end result that I got to see and taste for myself was amazing. So juicy, so sweet, and just the right size for one person to eat. I have never before or since tasted such a delicious watermelon. It's a great shame that the only remaining seeds he had vanished like they did. When I was a kid, I thought those watermelons were what was normal. After his passing, I found out quickly that his watermelons were perfection compared to anything else I have tried. I have given up trying to find a suitable replacement. It has been almost twenty years since his passing.
Regional breeds all over the south vary widely and even more critical is weather and soil. Not sure why you didn't save some of his seeds so you could have proven, not just boasted, about his craft. Also, this is a common delusion of many people who do not grasp that fact that as their taste buds age they are less sensitive. I have seen countless false narratives blaming farmers for less flavor when it is remained exactly the same or better. Professional tasters know about the age loss and compensate with consultant panels.
@@popeyegordon I was a teenager when he died. I ate watermelon every summer until after he died. After he died, I went on the hunt for a replacement watermelon with no luck. I didn't save his seeds because they vanished after he died (probably a family member took them without telling anyone). The comparison was back when I was still young and within two years of his last melon. I gave up because nothing was found anywhere near as good as his.
Perhaps you could try and replicate his process so that art stays alive within your family
@@ElementalSerenity I've considered it, but I will probably never had kids to pass it on to if I did end up with anything decent.
@@NotSoCrazyNinja Then perhaps sharing it with the community (or finding a way to patent it or smth) so that you can share the process and so that people can taste and have some sort of understanding as to how you felt tasting those selectively bred Watermelons your grandfather engineered?
5:09 and here’s the biggest issue. A lot of people I’ve met that are pro GMO are pro GMO because it saves money, and the reason why a lot of folks I know are pro GMO, and talk about this so much, argue that if we don’t use GMO’s, and use more pesticides instead, it’ll actually cost more, and with the economy going to shit in a lot of places, it’ll actually cost more. I know GMO’s sound scary, but it can actually help save the planet, and help ensure more people get food. It can help a lot. I get being cautious, and I advocate for that, but I also advocate for reading, academic papers especially. I believe in us, we can do this.
Saving the planet that we put in danger in the first place. HIRONIC
@isabellacatolica5594 the planet will live on long after us, we're just killing ourselves
Only bad side of GMO is...
that it increased production of food so much, too many people are living on Earth 😂
@@isabellacatolica5594well we're trying to save the planet's conditions whicb are favorable to us. life will always find a way and the planet keep spinning even if we drop all of the petrol in the world into the ocean. in fact, in the past there was no O2 in the atmosphere and life still thrived. then cyanobacteria pumped ridiculous amounts of O2 into the atmosphere (and that's also how the ozone layer was formed) and 99% of life on the planet died because it wasn't adapted to the highly reactive oxygen that was practically drowning them. yet life still found a way and adapted. its just that we humans think our ideal conditions which we are adapted to survive are what the planet always was and what it should always be and anything else is "killing the planet". we're just trying to save our own asses, but sound ultra virtuous about it.
@@isabellacatolica5594 so we shouldn't save the world. Gotcha
I am from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
These examples regarding my country is correct 💗💗
Bangladesh seems to be used as a positive example a lot on this channel. Yesterday I saw a video about overpopulation where the progress of Bangladesh in that regard was shown. Your country apparently as progressed A LOT in the last decades. Very impressive. Here in Germany most what you hear about Bangladesh is that western clothing corporations like H&M mistreat Bangladeshis for cheap clothing. E.g. several years ago the Rana Plaza collapse was everywhere on the news for weeks including interviews with injured workers. But even then it was said that Bangladeshis are starting to found worker unions and that they will gain strength and power over time to fight for worker's rights.
@@solar0wind india freed Bangladesh from noob Pakistan tyranny and slavery in 1971
the real question is can you make greens taste like chocholate
There is a variety of mint called "chocolate mint" that many (not all) people swear up and down tastes chocolaty. Not even genetically-modified. So it turns the answer is yes, you can make greens taste like chocolate. :D
Chocolate comes from a fruit, doesn't it?
A bean to be exact
I'd fuckin hope not, I love my greens. Even as little kid I loved even broccoli :P
Furlow Torent What??
The animation makes your videos so satisfying to watch
Don't forget the voice! the voice is great
The animations and voice of the person just blend like magic !
its the only thing these videos are worth watching for, 99% of the staff works on the animation, fuck the validity of the sources and skeptic research.
FuckOffAlready, they do provide sources in the description.
Kim yeah, implying this is a one sided issue. Institutionalized science decides whats conclusive and whats not. Like the experiment where mice got fed with GMOs that turned up all fine, unless you find that the same experiment done for a longer time showed increased frequency in diseases and tumors. Guess what study "science" (the government/monsanto) says is the right one?
We watched this in Science class. Everyone completely understood the material. Good work!
600 HOURS!!!!
As a video artist, that really hits me. OMG, I can't thank you enough you guys for putting so much time and effort into education.

Have you ever noticed that OMG is spelled like GMO backwards?
@@taraskhan4759 coincidence? I think not.

Create another account :D
how does it take that long?
That's why they ask you to please share it with people who might be interested in the topic.
xBigBossx1000 They need to create all the animations
Thats monstrous. Hory sheet. Insane.
So many people just see "GMO" on a box and think "Oh my goodness. I've heard that's bad. I don't know what it means, but I've heard it's bad. Better take the Non-GMO one instead, whatever that means."
It's called fear mongering and the organic thugs tried to make labeling of breeding methods even more dishonest to slant sales towards their crappy over priced products. Obama put a stop to it. Look up the new 2020 GMO labeling law, called GE disclosure. Many trace amounts of refined sweeteners and oils will no longer be called GMO and it is illegal to put that on labels.
It's true, but then there's some people actually did the background ressearch before tackling the topic and realized that the matter is a lot more complex than what this highly biaised video would want us to think.
Here's an excerpt from a 2017 peer reviewed paper:
*_"Effects of Bt toxins on the immune system have been identified in different species and via different routes, including whole food dietary administration. The observations include studies on mice [45, 46], and pigs [47, 48]. Immune system responses have also been shown for fish [49, 50]. Based on data that were provided to the Indian authorities by Monsanto, Gallagher [51] also assumed immunotoxic reactions in rats: Rats fed with Bt aubergine-producing Cry1Ac protein were significantly less healthy than controls as demonstrated by an increased white blood cell count, eosinophils in particular, and enlarged spleens. Further hepatotoxic effects included elevated bilirubin and acetylcholinesterase."_*
Curious to read more? here's a nice highlight:
*_"In contrast to native Bt toxins, there are several reasons to assess in more detail the potential toxicity of Bt toxins expressed in genetically engineered plants: It is known that there are several differences in the structure of the Cry toxin expressed in the genetically engineered plants and those used in traditional mixtures [5, 6]. Traditionally, the Bt protoxin has been used for spraying as protoxin and in crystallised (inactivated) form. However, the Cry toxins expressed in the genetically engineered plants are already solubilised and activated. It is known that changes in the structure of the protein can have considerable influence on the toxicity of the Bt proteins [7]. Therefore, the risk assessment taken from traditional Bt toxins used in biological pest control can only be applied to a limited extent to the Bt toxins expressed in plants._*
*_Further, the Cry toxins are expressed by the plants throughout the whole period of vegetation, while the traditional sprays are used in a time-limited and targeted manner, if necessary. The sprayed proteins can be expected to mostly degrade, while Bt toxins expressed in plants will be present in the harvest and-depending on further processing-will also be present in feed and food._*
*_The mode of action of Cry toxins is not fully understood. To some extent it is even a matter of controversial scientific debate [8, 9]. Several authors [10-14] reach different conclusions with regard to the mode of action in target organisms."_*
If you want to educate yourself on the topic, the source is "Possible health impacts of Bt toxins and residues from spraying with complementary herbicides in genetically engineered soybeans and risk assessment as performed by the European Food Safety Authority EFSA" (i would have put a link, but if i do youtube will consider it as spam and hide it, you can google this and find the paper easily).
@@popeyegordon Yes, turns out that the laws of physics have changed between 2017 and 2020, now proteins behave entirelly differently than they did 3 years ago... Do you even hear yourself? You sound less coherent and more unhinged everytime i visit this page.
I have see juice wich are not organic but no-gmo !!!
@@loicdeniel8361 No you lying asshole, I prove you wrong every single time I encounter your toxic anti-biotech lies. Any fool can locate outlier studies that confirm a particular bias, this is why consensus is so devastating to activists. Organic farmers have been using Bt for 40 years. The only use of hypodermic needles on farms is by organic farmers injecting the Bt toxin into the bases of their larger plants.
May I suggest a second part of this video explaining how GMO's are made?
From the very first step, from when the Agrobacterium Tumefaciens is modified. And the other options in the market.
Thanks for all your videos.
I would like this too. Because chemical names sound scary, or the words "synthetic" and non-natural things, but the more I learn, the more I realise just how nuanced it is.

"That's one of the most fundamental problems with the GMO debate: Much of the criticism of this technology is actually criticism of modern agriculture and the business practice of the huge corporations that control our food supply."

@@manuelsaavedra8081 roddy ricch "WHY NOT BOTH"
No, because monocultures are horrible for the environment.
You see all of the animals that exist in our planet depend on plants, and these plants give them food if you remove this food away you destroy species, like bees for example.
I personally love bees, I always make sure on my farm that bees are welcome, they're super important for pollinating other types of plants.
Mono culture comes from the greek one, and culture, which is agriculture in modern English.
Basically it means cultivating one type of plant, and that destroys the environment.
To prevent the world from losing amazingly unique species we have to stop stacking one type of plant near each other. First of all it reduces the total gene pool of a given plant species which is horrible what that means is that you lose things that you don't even know that could exist yet.
That's decided by phenotype and genotype of a given seed. The genetics of plants depends on each species and how it distributes chromosomes.
Personally I didn't study genetics so I can't tell you exactly how that distribution works, but I studied botany and photosynthesis.
Equals Sign I don’t think GMO is about more yield, i.e more wheat but more energy in the same amount (first priority), coz that will reduce consumption requirement and a small land can feed more!
So we can now make Peashooters and Magnet Shrooms , just like in Plants vs. Zombies?
imagine if this was the backstory to the plants in PVZ
or, there was a PVZ movie and they genetically engineered these plants to fight against the zombies.
@@Monochrome2004 such a backstory would be awesome and quite deep.
@@grepukun5557 If their was a backstory to it, i'd think it have to be this logically. It could be also cool, if the "zombie virus", that is so lethal to us, is actually harmless to plant considering they dont have brains. Imagine the gov't using the virus to rapidly mutate gmo plants to further speed up their evolution and proliferation. I nerded out right there.
well, yeah
This but instead of fighting zombies we fight world hunger

Keep up the great work you make the best educational content
When I see your videos pop out in my subscriptions tab, I always leave a like to them because I know how much effort and time went into each and every one of your fantastic videos.
I am a designer/illustrator myself and I know how much time even one simple illustration can take. But doing hundreds of them in one video and animating all of it and narrating it - it's a hell of a job to do. I am very grateful for you that you are putting so much effort into your videos that are free to watch for us, normal people, even though this type of work would cost tens of thousands of dollars.
I wish you good luck, Kurzgesagt. I will continue to share your work because you are one of the few UA-cam channels who really deserve that.

My Grandpa grows corn, and he says this whole anti-gmo thing is ridiculous because without it the corn would get wormy quickly and it isn't harmful or dangerous and corn isn't a natural thing, it's been tampered with since the Myans.
Yep, the Mayans altered DNA at the molecular level in laboratories, then refused to label the resulting product and didn't monitor what the effects on their population were ('cos it was unlabelled, so they couldn't tell).....
Hahahaha....is that WHY there are no more MAYANS? Was it caused by MODERN GMO???
Dude, you are clueless, here read some UN Codex....it MIGHT help:
“Modern Biotechnology” means the application of:
i) In vitro nucleic acid techniques, including recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and *direct
injection of nucleic acid into cells or organelles* , or
ii) Fusion of cells beyond the taxonomic family,
that *overcome natural physiological reproductive or recombinant barriers* and that are not techniques used in traditional breeding and selection4
“Conventional Counterpart” means a related organism/variety, its components and/or products for which there is experience of establishing safety based on common use as food5
"
Show your Gramps.....see what he says.
Your Grandpa is correct. Bt gmo technology is now being use in Europe as in all over the world. Organic growers have used Bt for decades even injecting some food with Bt. I am sure you have heard of Bt corn. Bt corn contains naturally occurring Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria, a result of recombinant DNA techniques. that selectively kill caterpillar pest. Organic growers have for decades approved sprays containing Bt, a naturally occurring soil bacterium. Bt produces biotoxins lethal to moths,caterpillars and butterflies when ingested. Because it targets these insects' intestinal membranes(ABSENT in HUMANS and ANIMALS ), the EPA considers it benign to non- caterpillar species, including beneficial insects. When Organic growers spray Bt they kill all moths,caterpillars, and butterflies but we do not do that with gmo corn because only corn bore and corn root worms attacks corn so they are the only insects affected. For 80 years farmers like me used dangerous dangerous pesticides to control theses insects but today we do not have to use them thanks to gmo technology. GMO technology is safer for my children, my Wife, our water, our farm, and our environment. WE and YOU should give thanks to almighty GOD for the wisdom of GMO. Technology.
@@almostbutnotentirelyunreas166 The Mayans did at least slowly, they kept picking the biggest crops to reproduce until we finally got modern corn. In fact if you actually look up pictures of what wild corn looks like you will find it looks nothing like our domesticated corn. Genetic modification just makes it so we don't have to wait millennia to get the traits we want
@@AEE341 GMO technology IS genetic engineering. In agriculture we use the term genetic engineering instead of gmo technology but they mean the same thing.
@@AEE341 Yes gmo technology is genetic engineering. You can pollinate a plant with pollen from a different plant from the same species which is called selective breeding which is totally different from genetic engineering.
Knives are great! I love knives. I can use them for camping, cooking or sculpting. But also for murder :(. The knife isn't good or bad, it's all about how I use it. Same goes for GMOs.
A V Great Analogy :D
Like knives, we just have to regulate the sale and production of GMO.
Like here in the UK, you have to prove you're over 21 to actually buy a knife! That can also include butter knives.
Yes but you can't murder billions of people with a knife, if you drop it you don't destroy an ecosystem, and if you cut yourself with it it doesn't give you cancer.
Oliver Worley neither do GMOs
Oliver Worley but natural mutations cause cancer though. Genetic editing can ever avoid that.

You mentioned the American Chestnut tree, and we're actually already fixing that. The reason American Chestnuts were essentially wiped out and can't be grown where they used to live anymore is a type of fungus. However, there is now a GMO American Chestnut tree that is resistant, and it will slowly be introduced to the forests alongside the very few that remain, and that will hopefully bring the Chestnut back to its former glory (and maybe save a couple of species that depend on the tree from extinction). As mentioned in the video, Chestnut can absorb tons of CO2 so this would be great for the climate as well.
A lot of, or most, of the American chestnuts were killed by the chestnut blight, but not all. There are plenty of American chestnut in Michigan, Wisconsin, and other areas. While they're outside the original range, climate change is pushing everything north. Some of the original chestnut cultivars are immune to the blight, and they're being grown. See New Forest Farm in SW Wisconsin for one example. Also, there's a cross between the Chinese chestnut and the American that are immune to blight. They were proven in Florida and are scattered around the US. I've got some in central Texas, near the bottom of the original oak savannah. No doubt, some corporations will use 'crispr' to modify the chestnut so they can patent and profit from it, but we don't need them to grow chestnut trees. Finally, ALL TREES extract tons of CO2 from the atmosphere - there's nothing special about the Chestnut in that regard. We need more trees - but we don't need more GMO trees.
The GMO blight resistant Chestnut was developed by the American Chestnut Foundation, not by corporations. Also, the Chestnut trees are a little modified as possible, with only a single gene identified as being the most effective being modified (it's the same gene as in the Chinese Chestnut). They are using a combination of Backcross breeding and GMO versions of American Chestnut trees and have been introducing these trees back into the forests for some time now. It is completely patent free, no one owns the plant.
So far Alex you had the most factual information. However since the ACF used traditional breeding techniques to produce the American Chestnut that is 1/16th Chinese Chestnut, it is inherently not a single gene but many that produce the CB resistance. To determine that a single gene transferred occurred one would need a greater level of characterization of each progeny to determine that a single gene was conferred in the cross, which is self defeating for the use of crossing two parent trees to produce a progeny would introduce multiple gene variances. To achieve a single gene transfer one would need more precise techniques (such as the above mentioned CRISPER which still has off target effects) yet the use of such techniques would fall under Genetic Engineering and require more government oversight.
Andrew Gennett They do both backcross breeding and biotechnology: www.acf.org/our-work/biotechnology/
Quote: "This was an intentional decision to use every tool in our toolbox to address the serious problem of chestnut blight. One of those tools, developed at ESF, involves adding new genes to the American chestnut, which allows the tree to withstand blight with almost no damage. Genes being tested come from the Chinese chestnut and other plants."
"OxO-containing American chestnuts still have 100% of their native American chestnut genes, and the addition of 2 genes (the OxO and a selectable marker gene) during the transformation process results in a tree that is still >99.999% pure American chestnut."
Edit: This is still being extensively tested for safety and adverse effects by the USDA, FDA, and EPA, so none of these have been introduced in the wild yet
*broomrape*
I always laugh when i walk past the organic section in the shops.
I mean, for plants in the "dirty dozen" it can be the best option, but I would love for more plants to be modified in ways that are more environmentally sustainable. There needs to be more transparency in food labeling as well so people feel comfortable buying GMOs because we don't know which ones are pesticide resistant and got sprayed more. We don't know which ones are actually reducing pesticide use. I know some people assume organic is always healthy or always safest, and that is silly, but it's because of marketing that people think that.
The only problem I have with "organic" is the cases when it is over-hyped. Some plant types are naturally pretty much able to resist bugs. In fact, when I grow some crops without any pesticides, I follow the recommendation to grow some of those resistant crops nearby. Example, onions and leeks, or garlic. There's no way I would spend the extra money to buy organic garlic, etc.
I just found out more pesticide is needed for non-gmo crops (for obvious reasons). Making me rethink all the money I wasted.

, cut-paste, google.
Some excerpts:
Pg 3, “19. Risk management measures may include, as appropriate, food labelling8 conditions for marketing approvals and post-market monitoring.”
(sold UNLABELELD in US for over 2 decades, FDA FAIL)
Pg 18, “56: Gene transfer from plants and their food products to gut micro-organisms or human
cells is considered a rare possibility because of the many complex and unlikely events
that would need to occur consecutively. Nevertheless, the possibility of such events
cannot be completely discounted.6”
Pg 10, “ 15: Unintended effects can result from the random insertion of DNA sequences into the
plant genome, which may cause disruption or silencing of existing genes, activation
of silent genes, or modifications in the expression of existing genes. Unintended
effects may also result in the formation of new or changed patterns of metabolites.
For example, the expression of enzymes at high levels may give rise to secondary
biochemical effects or changes in the regulation of metabolic pathways and/or altered
levels of metabolites”
Pg 16. "46: ….. consideration should be given to the potential impacts on human health using conventional procedures for establishing the safety of such metabolites *(e.g. procedures for assessing the human safety of chemicals in foods)* .” i.e. Human Safety Studies, YET: None ever.

The thing i want genatically modified is that vegetables and fruits last longer ib shelf and still be 100% healthy for us
It is varieties more than modifications that offer longer shelf life. There are many varieties of every food plant so we find the ones that last longest. But that can be taken too far, flavor must not be sacrificed for shelf life. They are all healthy.

Organic just means "anything with carbon" in it.
Actually, it means anything with a carbon--oxygen bond. But you're mostly right, so don't sweat it.
Well, fossil fuels did come from living things. But I don't know about diamonds though, but they are pretty common than you think.
Actually, its everything with carbon, and hydrogen. CO2 is not considered an organic compound, but CH3 is.
You're conflating "organic food" with "organic chemistry". Two completely different meanings.
If you want to eat only organic things, you have to skimp out on the two things that are inorganic but are essential to life: salt and water. (There's more than that, I know, but those are the two biggest ones.)
Also, gasoline and plastic. (Let's expand the list of non-food organic substances for the sake of it.)
so Terraforming Mars MIGHT be done with "super" plants?
Yes! The possibilities! Potatoes that can create new atmosphere and change the soil around them!
