The specimens I've met were as entirely emotionally ideology driven as any religious true believer, babbling on about the "purity" of their food like that crazy general in Dr. Strangelove.
Rather ironically, one of the co-founders of Greenpeace, Dr Patrick Moore, is very pro-GMO now, because of projects like Golden Rice.
Greenpeace itself take a dim view of the stufff.
After years worth of aggressive disinformation campaigns (up to and including, and I'm not even kidding...claiming that golden rice didn't actually exist and was instead a cover for western scientists to experiment upon asian children......) the initial field trials were tampered with by activists, delaying the release of the tech. Meanwhile, vitamin A deficiency is the leading cause of preventable blindness among children worldwide. Every 60 seconds...a child goes blind. Good lookin out, luddites.
