Greenpeace released today a report ”confirming the dangers” of cultivating genetically-modified organisms. The report, which focuses on Bt eggplant, a GMO variety currently being field-tested in the Philippines, details how the spread of the genetically-modified Bt gene can cause eggplant to be an ”aggressive and problematic weed, threatening to overpower similar varieties.” In addition, Greenpeace maintains that GMOs grown in fields contaminate normal crops, threaten farmers’ livelihoods, and are dangerous to human health.
