  1. Save poor children says:

    Criticism of Greenpeace over Golden Rice issue is going mainstream in Europe
    Golden rice is proven to be safe and beneficial to treat Vitamin A difficiency in children who are too poor to buy vegetables. The deficiency results in between 250,000 and 500,000 irreversible cases of blindness annually, mainly in children, half of whom DIE within a year of becoming blind. The article above is written like a smear campaign using propaganda scare tactics. Patrick Moore, for example, was one of the founders of Greenpeace himself and is now an advocate of Golden Rice. Don’t take my word, think and judge for yourself or take the word of all these organisations who declare Golden Rice is safe:
    The American Medical Association
    The American Assn for the Advancement of Science
    The World Health Organization
    The National Academy of Sciences
    The Royal Society of Medicine (UK)
    The European Commission
    The American Council on Science and Health
    The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
    The American Society for Cell Biology
    The American Society for Microbiology
    The American Society of Plant Sciences
    The International Seed Foundation
    The International Society of African Scientists
    The Federation of Animal Science Societies
    The Society of Toxicology
    The French Academy of Science
    The Union of German Academi
    You may want to Google the Letter advising the Prime Minister on the risks and benefits of GM technologies.
    Don’t be fooled by mindless propaganda. Save real children by advocating an honourable cause!

    1. What’s wrong with normal non-modified rice? Absolutely nothing. The above poster is a clown with a big red nose, oversized shoes, and terrible alcohol breath. Go home you silly clown, and make sure you eat a double dose of genetically modified filth. We need less clowns in the world and “if we do a good job through vaccination and genetically modified foods” we will remove the clown population of the world….Bill Gates quote……

    2. As for me, I like my rice without the GMO. I don’t want to hear how safe
      it is, because for the right price you can get anybody to speak on your
      behalf.

    The maker of Golden Rice used to work for Monsanto….enough said!!

  3. The author of this article is committing a huge logical fallacy: “Ad hominem: This is an attack on the character of a person rather than his or her opinions or arguments. Example: Green Peace’s strategies aren’t effective because they are all dirty, lazy hippies.
    In this example, the author doesn’t even name particular strategies Green Peace has suggested, much less evaluate those strategies on their merits. Instead, the author attacks the characters of the individuals in the group.” https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/659/03/
