9:14 am
hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. xeljanz can reduce the symptoms of ra, even without methotrexate. ask your rheumatologist about xeljanz. whoa. what's going on here? oh hey allison. i'm val, the orange money retirement squirrel from voya. val from voya? yeah, val from voya. quick question, what are voya retirement squirrels doing in my house? we're putting away acorns. you know, to show the importance of saving for the future. so you're sort of like a spokes person? no, i'm more like a metaphor. okay, a spokes-metaphor. no, i'm... you're a spokes-metaphor. yeah. ok.

>> osgood: 80% of all processed foods, cereals, baby formula, canned soups and more, contain at least one gmo, genetically modified organisms. whetetr gmo,are safe whether they should be listed on the label has led to very big food fight. our cover story from barry petersen. >> the farm on the big island may be a bit off the beaten path but it's smack in the middle of a worldwide debate about one of life's essentials, the very food we eat.
9:16 am
those now grown on the big island are gmos. genetically modified organisms. is it safe? >> we say, of course. been eating it, my kids have been eating it for 20 years now. >> 20 years ago the big island papaya industry has been thriving, growers were shipping 60 million pounds of papayas a year. but then insects began spreading a devastating virus called ring spot, to nearly every papaya tree on the island. in about three years, the trees were dead, fields were baron, the industry literally wiped out. but a hawaiian born plant pathologist, dennis gone solves then a professor at cornell university came to the rescue. >> we have technology that could
9:17 am
>> a team of scientists pulled off a remarkable feat of genetic engineering, they took a d.n.a. strand from the destructive papaya virus inserted it into the d.n.a. of papaya seed just as with a vaccine for a human, the papayas became immune to ring spot. one of the final field tests was on delan perry's farm in 1997. in these photos, you can see the dead and diseased trees surrounding the healthy genetically engineered trees. >> it grew beautiful, absolutely beautiful. and even to this day there has been no break down ever resistance. >> today american farmers grow about ten different gmo crops including more than 92% of all corn and soy. most are engineered to ward off
9:18 am
we'd-killing herbicides or both. that means, farmers can dramatically reduce insecticide use. when they spray for weeds the herbicide won't kill their crops. and most of us eat gmos every day in processed foods like so he da, cereal, chips and cheese. and in november, salmon joined the list, it's genetically engineered to grow faster. and there are more foods in the pipeline. among them a peanut without the toxin that triggers deadly allergies. cassavas and a bananas the main source of food for hundreds of millions of africans that would become immune to diseases now decimating those crops. so given all that, why are so many people so opposed to
9:19 am
>> as a mother and a scientist who has been looking at thesese issues for some decades i am increasingly concerned at the ways in which corporations have gained more and more control and influence over our food system. >> marcia is a senior scientist at the pesticide action network. >> genetically engineered seeds are responsible for an enormous increase in the use of pesticides, i you primarily herbicides. people have healthy skepticism to corporations telling us that their products are perfectly safe. we've seen that with the ddt and tobacco, for example. >> a lot of the opposition to gmo is directed at the world's largest seed company, monsanto. she says she is troubled that when farmers buy herbicide resistant gmo seeds from monsanto, they are locked into using large quantities of
9:20 am
well. and there's something else. farmers who buy monsanto's patented gmo seeds must sign an agreement promising that they will use them for only one harvest are be sued. farmers have done this since the beginning of farming they raise their crops, saver this sides plant them the next year. why not plant seeds that are patented by monsanto. >> wee spend billion and half dollars on research and development. seeing that. >> hugh grant is the ceo of monsanto. if farmers want to take their business elsewhere they have plenty of options. loyalty. they're looking for the best possible seed that produces the best possible crop. >> but those crops are getting harder to sell.
9:21 am
gmos in their food. >> i want to say no to gmo and yes to healthy food. >> we have no idea what potential health complications arise out of eating diets rich in gmos. >> and some companies are reacting, chipotle, hershey and whole foods have or will soon either ban or require the labeling of all gmos. the big question is, is all this fear justified? >> researchers are only just beginning to investigate the myriad of potential adverse health effects. >> like what? >> gmo. the issue is that we don't have long-term independent studies to be able to answer these questions fully. >> than is the great divide. polls show 57% of americans think gmos are unsafe to eat
9:22 am
scientists say gmos are safe. and prestigious scientific organizations, among them the american medical association, the world health organization and the national academy of sciences all say hundreds of peer-reviewed studies confirm gmos are pose no danger to health. >> we're looking at genes that make the plants tolerant of flooding, we're also interested in drought. >> pam ronald is a plant geneticist at the university of california-davis. her husbananis a certified organic farmer. has any study shown even as much as one person who has been harmed or died from eating food that was genetically engineered? >> there's not a single instance of harm to human health or the environment using genetically engineered crops. >> ronald points out that farmers have been genetically
9:23 am
years using techniques like grafting, hybridization and cross greeding. look at corn, for example. >> this is modern sweet corn. this is ancient ancestor of modern corn. this corn produces a hundred fold more grain than the ancient ancestor which is not used any more. nothing we eat has been engineered by nature. everything we eat has been genetically altered using human intervention. >> still the vast majority of americans say gmos are different. and should be clearly labeled. >> the foods are not labeled we have no way to really ascertain what are the kinds of impacts people are having consuming gmos. americans have right to know what's in our food and right to know how it's been grown. >> and she has unlikely ally,
9:24 am
>> we've been voluntary labeling for quite some time. >> i'm surprised because i would think if there's one company that didn't want people to have gmo on a label when they walk through a grocery store it would be monsanto. >> if we're going to be transparent with this we should really open it up. >> what no one disputes is this, the controversy over gmos is creating an ever lengthening approval process in countries around the world. take vitamin enriched golden rice which could help 250 million children who have sometimes fatal vitamin a deficiency. >> we absolutely have to have food that's safe. but what's been put into the golden rice is a pigment that we should eat every day in carrots. as we impose hurdle, is that are not placed on other crops, many children are dying every day. >> faced with increasing
9:25 am
push to ban them is accelerating in rich counsel trees where there is so much food that obesity is a major health issue. yet their biggest impact could one day be in the increasingly hungry third world. a lesson not lost on dennis gone solves the man whose genetic engineering saved hawaii's papaya all those years ago. >> we have a lot of food, no problem. a lot of these people in these other countries. really harming the people.
9:26 am
monastery. >> osgood: it took several hundred years, but an american has finally brought music back to the sacred place in italy. allen pizzey has sent us this postcard from norcia. >> for more than 800 years the sounds of gregorian chants
9:27 am
norcia, birth place of saint benedict the founder the western monasticism. or at least it did until 1810 when the order was suppressed due to the code of law. it stayed that way for 200 years, until an american monk arrived. >> first contact with the monastery was 19. i didn't enter until i was 24. >> he grew up in connecticut his passion was mug i can he studied at the venerable voice program at the indiana university school of music until he had what he calls a conversion experience. >> i wanted something different, something more. that's what drew me to the monastery.
9:28 am
trappings of his former life, nearly everything, one thing he hung on to was music. >> because the prayer in the monastery is always sung, my music training was very beneficial. >> father cassian came to norcia in 2000 starting with just two other monks formed a choir. after two centuries music once again filled the valley. the choir grew to 16 monks, half of them americans. a few years ago they recorded some of their chants to share with friends and neighbors. and then a funny thing happened. a record label came calling, wanting to produce an album. >> we were asked to do it by de mont form music, they were keep on it and we were a bit reluctant because we had so many things to do. finally we were able to figure
9:29 am
of our monstic schedule. >> cutting the album meant cutting into a day that is regulated by work and devotion. the monks pray eight times a day starting at 3:45 in the morning. so sound engineers more used to working rock stars whose schedules can be chaotic to say the least had to fit in time between the prayers. >> we have 25 minutes. >> the studio was the basilica itself and the job took a mere two and a half days. it was a learning experience for both sides. one which choir master father basil nixen found challenging. >> we're always trying to please
9:30 am
other thing is easier. >> and please people, they did. while not quite a miracle, the album the monks were persuaded to cut hit number one on the classical billboard chart. >> were you surprised? >> it is remarkable. but it shows that there's something in the music that attracts people. across a huge spectrum. and that something i think is desire for what people today call spirituality. something more than the every day lives that they lead. takes them out of themselves i think, because of its beauty and maybe ethereal quality. typical calming effect. >> it takes four years to become a benedictine monk.
9:31 am
life of prayer, work and no luxuries is a serious decision. the cover art shows quintessential image of a monk, one who thought that when he entered the order, leaving the world. >> i'm uncomfortably noticeable. even so connecticut born he figured the album would have limited appeal. >> but the music can get to where words often can't. >> as for dreams of turning out another number one album in the future, the monks are anything but star struck. >> you are the kind of people who can honestly say, success won't change you. >> that's the whole point of our lives.
9:32 am
we came here to seek god. >> osgood: a cake walk is coming up. but first, meet stan lee, a real action hero. this is tecfidera. tecfidera is not an injection. it's a pill for relapsing ms that has the power to cut relapses in half. imagine what you could do with fewer relapses. tecfidera may cause serious side effects, such as allergic reactions,
9:33 am
that usually leads to death or severe disability, and decreases in your white blood cells. the most common side effects are flushing and stomach problems. tell your doctor about any low white blood cell counts, infections, any other medical conditions, or if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. learn more about the most prescribed pill for relapsing ms in the us, at tecfidera.com. talk to your doctor about tecfidera, and take another look at relapsing ms. woman: it's been a journey to get where i am. and i didn't get here alone. there were people who listened along the way. people who gave me options. kept me on track. and through it all, my retirement never got left behind. so today, i'm prepared for anything we may want tomorrow to be. every someday needs a plan.
9:34 am
james drove his rav4 hybrid, unaware death was lurking. what? he was challenged by a team of lumberjacks. let's do this. he would drive them to hard knocks canyon, where he would risk broken legs, losing limbs, and slipping and dying. not helping. but death would have to wait. james left with newfound knowledge, a man's gratitude, and his shirt. how far will you take the all-new rav4 hybrid? toyota. let's go places. >> osgood:l before spider-man was an action hero on the silver screen, he was a star on the pages of marvel comics. he owes his existence to a man

with our lee cowan. >> i wanted to be errol flynn. >> he was your super hero? >> oh, yeah. i would leave the theater, i had an imaginary sword at my side. i'd be looking for some girl that some bully was picking on so i could run to her rescue. >> did you save 134 girls? >> i never found that girl. i probably would have gotten beaten up anyway, or arrested. >> stan lee might not have become robin hood, but he certainly achieved super hero status. [ applause ] >> at 93 he's as famous as his care tack terse, regarded by comic book fans and convention goers worldwide as one of the
9:36 am
>> how are you doing? >> sometimes they make me feel that way. when they say, can you take a picture with me. or shake my hand or something. it's a great feeling that people really care that much. it is. >> famous super hero, super power. stan lee helped dream them up. the list is long, from spider-man, to iron man, from the hulk, to thor, the x-men, the avengers, fantastic four, all his in some capacity. he's the god of the marvel universe. >> did you ever worry you were going to run out of characters or run out of super powers? >> no. that never really occurred to me. it was too much fun doing them. >> he didn't do it alone. while the characters and story lines were mostly stan's, they were co-created with the help of his graphic artists, like jack kirby and steve ditko, who
9:37 am
in vivid detail. >> all of these artists made my stories look better than they were. >> hello there. perhaps not surprisingly, stan's story, has just been put into comic book form, too. >> how's that? >> a memoir, the way only marvel's master couou d diver. published by simon and shoeser a division of cbs. >> i figure i'd done everything else as graphic novel why not my life. that's fine with me. >> the comic starts out as stan started out. as stanley martin leiber, born to jewish immigrants in 19. he grew up poor in tiny bronx apartment. when he was old enough he started looking for jobs help pay the bills. in 1939 he landed at a publishing house, which just happened to have a small division called timely comics. >> i'd fill the ink wells, in
9:38 am
down get sandwiches at the drugstore. i'd proof read the pages. and sometimes in proof reading i'd say, you know, this sentence doesn't sound right. it o oht to be written like this. well, go ahead and change it. they didn't care. >> characters like destroyer, father time, jack frost, soon had stan's fingerprints all over them. he got so caught up in the battles of good versus evil that after pearl harbor it seemed only natural he join the army. >> oh, hell, how could you not volunteer for the army? hitler was over there doing all those horrible things. >> but instead of fighting, stan found himself drawing. his best work, a poster telling soldiers how not to get vd. >> i drew a little soldier, very proudly he's saying, vd? not me clam! they must have printed a hundred trillion of those. i think i won the war
9:39 am
>> by the time the '60s rolled around timely comics had become marvel comics. he realized he could more than entertain his chararaers could also offer social commentary. you didn't shy away from the issues of the day, you took on war, racac relation, drug abuse. >> i tried everything that people were thinking of, that i was thinking was that was concerning people at the time. >> his super heroes had flaws, they argued, had hang ups. all key ingredients that went into his most famous character of all, spider-man. >> i saw a fly crawling on a wall and i thought, what if a guy could stick to walls like an insect. i said that sounds good. so i started trying to think of some names. insect man. nah. mosquitoe man. then i got to spider-man. spider-man, that sounds dramatic. and he has spider power he can
9:40 am
he could swing, oh, man. then i figured i'd make him a teenager. and i figured i'd do the unthinkable, i'd give him personal problems. i ran into my publisher and i said, have i got an idea for you. his name is spider-man. i couldn't get any further he said, stan, that is the worst idea i have ever heard. >> the rest, of course, is the stuff of comic book lore. ider-man lead what became known as marvel revolution. then there's t tse marvel movies. >> i guess one person can make a difference. enough said. >> stan lee has made cameos in almost all of them. standing toe to toe. though not exactly on equal footing. >> nice try.
9:41 am
>> surprising to many of his fans, created characters never really owned them. marvel did. which is why despite all comic book sales those big blockbuster movies, stan found himself largely cut out. now that you've seen all these characters that you created making, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars, but you're not getting any that have. >> nope. >> not really a dime. >> no. i don't really share in any of that. >> but they're your characters. >> well, they're not my characters, theyeyelong to the company. i was getting paid -- it was my job to create them. >> does it make you angry? >> i try not to think about it. i'm having too much fun with the rest of my life of there's no point going back saying i should have done this or i could have done that. you know, what does it gain you?
9:42 am
marvel in 2002 that the issue came to light. >> this could be the next spider-man. >> he settled for undisclosed seven-figure amount and marvel did give stan a title, chairman emeritus of marvel enterprises. >> you're the most photographed super hero in this office, anyway. >> currently heads up pow entertainment. pow standing for purveyors of wonder. and he's far from out of ideas. >> eric, you never let us down. i think that's beautiful. >> thank you very much. let's just use that. go with it, okay? >> you think you'll ever retire? >> no. that's a dirty word. >> why sit a dirty word? >> retired to do what? i'm doing what i want to do. so why would i want to retire from it? >> how lucky can you be? >> all the villains out there roaming the galaxy hope stan lee
