It’s Official – Russia Completely Bans GMOs

EARTH - WE ARE ONE.
Russia has been considering joining the long list (and continually growing) of anti-GMO countries  for quite some time now. It does so after a group of Russian scientists urged the government to consider at least a 10-year moratorium on GMOs to thoroughly study their influence on human health. Story here.

Hopefully, this will be the starting of a crack that will open up and spread through out the rest of the world nations.
This Russian Prime Minister does not bafflegab…..
"GMO's are dangerous". Its nice to read and realize their government listens and pays attention to the scientists. They don't muzzle them!

They've also invaded the Ukraine - leading to the shoot-down of Malaysian Airlines' flight 17 and are threatening to heat up the long-dead Cold War by initiating bomber patrols over the Gulf of Mexico.
And THIS is the country you hold up as making a "rational" decision to ban GMOs?
That's some role model you got there...

banning GMOs. The rest is another topic for another time.
