    Greenpeace sides with local farmers to protect their monopoly. So they can ensure their profitability.

    This is a farce of course. They don't give a fart about farmers and their profits.

    Greenpeace is full of people who believe in witchcraft and crystals, worrying that GM is somehow from the devil and must be opposed at any cost. Including the health and welfare of the Philippine people.

    The rice they are growing now is GM, but just done at random by farmers over a long time. Nothing in that process is any safer or moral than creating rice deliberately and carefully for a certain goal.

    Lets deny healthy food to the members of Greenpeace and see how long it takes them to fold.
