Reply #29: Of course one can dismiss what Greenpeace claims [View All]

Just as easily as one could dismiss Monsanto if they made reciprocal claims without enough information.

What they are doing is giving some data, which may or may not be correct, and then they give you their conclusions. They are not revealing the source or nature of that data which could very well be just as biased as they are. It doesn't matter which has more to gain. What matters is that both have an agenda based bias. As such, neither can be trusted to draw reasonable conclusions and use unbiased sources. However, if I had to pick one of them to trust more, as you imply, then I would probably pick Monsanto because they have more to lose by publishing misleading data about their product and the chances of them losing such a lawsuit are high. Greenpeace has less to lose and the worst they would face is a defamation suit that would be almost impossible to prove in such instances. Personally I'd rather pick neither and go with unbiased independent sources of which there are many.
