Can we please join Russia?

It has a sensible government

And perhaps in an interesting global public relations move by Russian President Vladimir Putin, on Dec. 3 Putin proposed a new export industry that would provide the global community with food that is non-GMO, and in direct opposition to Western products that have been proven to b e toxic in lab tests to consumers and test animals.

Russia could become the world’s largest supplier of ecologically clean and high-quality organic food, said President Vladimir Putin on Thursday. He also called on the country to become completely self-sufficient in food production by 2020.

“We are not only able to feed ourselves taking into account our lands, water resources – Russia is able to become the largest world supplier of healthy, ecologically clean and high-quality food which the Western producers have long lost, especially given the fact that demand for such products in the world market is steadily growing,” said Putin, addressing the Russian Parliament on Thursday.

Putin said that all this makes Russia fully capable of supplying the domestic market with home-grown food by 2020.

In September, the Kremlin decided against producing food products containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Russia imposed an embargo on the supply of products from the EU and the United States as a response to Western sanctions.

GMO foods and seeds have already been banned by a number of countries, including one of the most populated nations in the world,  which is India.  And even in the U.S., states are recognizing the harmful effects that modified foods are creating and are passing laws demanding GMO labeling despite the hundreds of millions of dollars GMO food producers like Monstanto and ADM are spending to lobby local governments from allowing these laws to be enacted.

Just as many world leaders are demanding some type of action to deal with climate change, so too are many peoples demanding a return to organic foods and consumables that contain less artificial ingredients, and cancer causing elements like glyshophates.  And perhaps it is a testament to the rise of real capitalism forming out of the Far East and Eurasia, and as opposed to the cronyism that has spawned in the U.S. and in Europe, that one side wishes to allow harmful chemicals to be a primary part of the food chain, and the other is seeking healthier choices for those nations desiring a return to nature.
