If you're anti-GMO, you're scientifically illiterate and are actively hurting hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
I'll quote from my recent post in the 'Things That s**t Me' thread:
"If you're anti-GMO's, you're really not all that different at all to anti-vaxxers. Not only do you completely, fundamentally misunderstand science (and you are totally in the minority as far as scientific consensus goes), your beliefs actually strips people of a better, more efficient product and major health benefits to developing countries. GMO's have factually helped saved hundreds of millions of lives. That is a fact. Sitting on your arse bitching and whining about Monsanto (whilst understanding very little about anything) achieves nothing, and such belief actively hurts people worldwide."
Greenpeace's defence of its position to prohibit Golden Rice, which could save millions of lives, is that these people should be eating more fruit and vegetables anyway!
