Greenpeace wants Indian people to starve

So I'm reading this story from Drudge about how people are freaking out in India over a GM (Genetically Modified) eggplant. As I'm reading the massive difficulties India is having feeding such a huge population (~1.2 bn) I start thinking to myself, "I bet Greenpeace is quoted in this article about how GM food is bad and yada yada..." Sure enough:

Expanding India's food supply is crucial in a country of one billion people, with predictions the population might reach 1.4 billion by 2025.

The United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organisation has said food production will need to double by mid-century to meet demand from a growing world population, prompting calls for a second Green Revolution.

But Greenpeace maintains GM crops are a costly distraction from tackling hunger through fighting poverty and helping small holders in developing countries sell their products.

This is the major reason that I can't support groups like Greenpeace. Greenpeace seems to be for these great things such as helping the poor and saving the environment but they oppose simple policies that would actually help accomplish their supposed goals such as GM food, free trade, and nuclear power. It happens so consistently on many such issues that I wonder if their publicly stated mission is truly what they are about. Their positions seem to align more closely with an anti-capitalism ethos. Trees are a great example. You know who plants most of the new trees? Logging companies. Of course if you ask your local Greenpeace-ian about this curious point you'll usually get a blank stare or a denial of this easily verifiable fact. The smarter ones will transition to a supposed lack of "biodiversity" in the newly planted forests. I'm sorry, did you want to save trees or promote biodiversity? Maybe "Save the biodiversity" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
