In a closely watched case, the owner of the Dakota Access Pipeline is claiming the environmental group masterminded protests that hurt the company’s business.
Rather than give you a direct link with my bias, I would recommend looking up Golden Rice, why it was created, who it helps, and what they did. Long story short though, kids in Asia had severe vitamin deficiencies from rice being such a massive part of their diet that they were ending up blind, so they made Golden Rice via genetic modification and it was a huge success… Until these absolute troglodytes found out. GMOs have been saving and improving lives since forever, and these idiots hate it because “IT’S NOT NATURAL!”
Yep, the opposition to it is right on Greenpeace’s website. Was interesting to read elsewhere about just how much of an outlier golden rice is when it comes to the usual objections to GMOs of patents/corporate evils, the consequences of the modification (e.g. pesticide resistance in plants leading to overuse and resistance in pests), and purpose (alleviate malnutrition as opposed to increase profits). Thanks for pointing me at something new to learn today.
I’m interested in some more details about that. Got a link to recommend?
