Russia is doing what the FDA refuses to do. Russia's Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev stated that Russia will no longer import or grow any GMO products. Russia plans on going towards the opposite direction, which is producing organic food. They have enough free land and resources to do so. Medvedev further stated “If the Americans like to eat GMO products, let them eat it then. We don’t need to do that..." Earlier, agriculture minister Nikolay Fyodorov also stated that Russia should remain free of genetically modified products. At the end of February, the Russian parliament asked the government to impose a temporary ban on all genetically altered products in Russia.
Genetically modified corn, soy, canola and cottonseed are abundantly found in the Standard American Diet. GMOs have been linked to a allergies, mutations, cancer and birth defects.
