You write about the fight against GMOs in Russia ... After I left St. Petersburg with my family, because it is impossible to feed 5 children for $ 60 per month, we settled in the south of Russia, in the countryside. In shops, always sold fake tomato paste. All Russian tomato paste was fake, from starch with acidulant and dyes. Krasnodar region is the richest agricultural region in Russia, it has always produced many tomatoes, meat, milk. After the Russian government introduced counter-measures against the EU, it became almost impossible to buy real cheese here. Almost all products: cheeses, curds, are made on the basis of palm oil. A real cheese or not, or it is too expensive, so that we can buy it. We survived here because we had a small herd of our own goats.

You probably do not understand the level of everyday lies in the USSR and in modern Russia. When I worked in the 90s at the joint Russian-American company DAB International (manufacturing wheelchairs for the conversion program of the military-industrial complex), this production was just a show-off. Before the arrival of the American hosts, the floor was painted, and we were forced to stand to the included machines, as if we had a job. There were not enough orders, and there was no work - but we were forced to portray work like extras in a movie. The Russian leadership of the plant consisted of former party workers.

By today's day, little has changed. There is no free press in Russia. There is no freedom of assembly. Religious organizations of Protestants look with alarm that tomorrow they can be declared extremist, as it already happened with "Jehovah's Witnesses", who were equated to IGIL.

All this show-off with GMOs ... I generally do not think that GMOs are dangerous. To GMO became dangerous, the evil intention of its creators is necessary. The Russians have already had nuclear weapons for a long time and now it turns out that they still have terrible nerve-paralytic poisons and are resistant to external influences. Do you think the Russian government is telling the truth that it destroyed the stockpiles of chemical weapons? It deserves no more confidence than the government of Iran or the DPRK.

If you eat any processed foods you're eating GMOs.

"Processing" does not make a food a GMO. Even so-called "organic" food gets processed and a farmer can grow non-GMO food and sell it at his roadside stand as "unprocessed". And taking two different strains of a food and cross-breeding them to gain some desired trait in essence makes it a GMO.

I didn't say processed equated to GMO. Because of the blend of ingredients about 80% of processed foods contain some GMO.
