Greenpeace founder now protesting their stance on Golden Rice

Quote:

TORONTO - Greenpeace is committing “crimes against humanity” by attempting to block the distribution of genetically-modified Golden Rice which could prevent the deaths of millions of children, said a founder of the environmental organization. Ecologist Patrick Moore, with Allow Golden Rice Now, said millions of children who consume a starch-rich rice diet die every year from a lack of beta carotene and vitamin A. Golden Rice, a genetically-modified food, contains the nutritional value to save millions of lives because 70% of the world’s poor depend on rice, he said. “I left Greenpeace in 1986 when they abandoned logical science,” Moore said at a downtown Toronto protest outside Greenpeace’s headquarters. “Greenpeace is back in the dark ages (opposing modified food). They are targeting Golden Rice even though it targets a human need.”
