#16 - Greenpeace: Killing Whales and Blind Children

In this episode we revisit the saga of Golden Rice. 140 million poor children suffer from vitamin A deficiency, of which 500,000 go blind and 250,000 die each year. Golden Rice could save them, except Greenpeace continues to sabotage it's use. From "Save The Whales" to "Let The Children go Blind and Die", we review the antihuman trajectory of Greenpeace. How did it stray so far from its original mission and why Golden Rice should be approved immediately.
