Summary

GMO sounds scary! Most of us associate genetically modified food as a bad thing and think organic is inherently better. But is that even the case?

To help answer those questions I'm joined by Robert Saik, the author of Food 5.0: How We Feed the Future.

Tune in to learn…

-If organic farming still uses pesticides,

-If Non-GMO labels are deceiving you,

-If COVID19 is affecting our food supply,

-About farm automation & tech,

-If organic farming is sustainable,

-How genetically modified corn has a built-in insecticide,

-If GMO is a bad thing,

-& so much more!

0:00.0	A spontaneous and unrehearsed interview.
0:07.7	Hello, and welcome to the 90-second episode of Curiosityness.
0:12.9	I am Travis DeRose.
0:14.5	Thank you for being here.
0:15.7	And this is Curiosityness, where we learn about fun, interesting, cool things, and new technologies. And that's why I'm
0:23.0	talking to Rob Sake. He is the author of a book called Food 5.0, How We Feed the Future. So I've
0:30.8	always, or I've recently, I guess, become super interested and curious about food and the technology implemented in food and

1:41.2	Been great, Travis. How are you holding out in this COVID world?
1:50.2	Oh, it's, it's fine. It's all right. I can't complain. Where are you located?
1:52.6	I'm in Long Beach, uh, by L.A.
