Another reason to stay away from corn and beef which are imported from the US and Canada. Are these people this much stupid? Even if they hide the GMO label, people will find it somehow.

They don't want to label there foods GMO because they'll lose profits. Every house and apartment should have their own gardens on roof to provide food for its inhabitants. it would be free. it would be healthy. prices would not be manipulated to where 3rd world countries export tobacco and coffee and import expensive foodcrops . this is how humanity has lived for 10,000 years. grow your own!

Well... I am not sure whether everyone can grow all the food that they need. But boycotting GMO and encouraging organic food might be a way to move forward. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

You can't say NO, if you don't know which of the food products available at the local supermarket is genetically modified and which ones are organic. May be you should chose according to the brands... that too is risky.

I kind of worry though that its called organic but really isn't more than if it is GMO That said sometimes you can tell what is GMO if it just tastes awful recalls some purple grapes. Really nasty skin and the taste went into the whole grape as well.

http://rt.com/politics/261985-russia-gmo-prison-law/Nationalists ponder prison sentences for selling unmarked GMO products
A number of Russian MPs have suggested altering the current legislation and introducing criminal responsibility for illegal trade in GMO products. The idea is to mete out prison terms of up to two years for repeated offenders.
The bill tightening the rules for selling genetically modified products has been prepared by lawmakers representing the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, known for its nationalist stance. The draft has already been forwarded to the government and Supreme Court for assessment, and it will then be submitted to parliament.
If passed the bill would amend the existing article of the criminal code that orders punishment for concealing any information about potential hazards for human life and health. It would include violation of the rules for marking goods containing GMO material. Those found guilty would face fines of up to 300,000 rubles (about $6000), or up to two years in prison or penal labor. The bill specifies that, depending on the crime’s circumstances, the punishment could be applied to the head of the company and the workers involved in the violations.
Currently, improper labeling of GMO products is punished by fines ranging between 20,000 and 50,000 rubles ($400 – $1,000) for individual entrepreneurs and between 100,000 and 500,000 rubles ($2,000 – $10,000) for companies. The law regulating the turnover of GMO was first introduced in Russia in 2007. It requires clearly visible indication on all goods containing 0.9 percent of genetically modified organisms by weight.
One of the sponsors of the new bill, MP Kirill Cherkasov, said in comments to the Izvestia daily that the document was necessary until experts release full scientific research on the effects of GMO on human health. He added the current practice could lead to abuse, as sometimes the profits from selling unmarked GMO products can potentially cover even heavy fines.
Experts who took part in developing the bill also said that producers often sent “clean” products for government evaluation, but sold cheaper products with GMO content on the mass market.
According to the government statistics overview released in 2014, the share of GMO in the Russian food industry has declined from 12 percent to just 0.01 percent over the past 10 years, and currently there are just 57 registered food products containing GMO.
In February 2014, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev held a government session dedicated to the problem. He said Russia will create its own research base for genetically modified organisms that would provide the authorities with expert information and allow for further legislative measures and executive decisions.
Medvedev also warned against perceiving GMO products as “absolute evil,” but said the government didn’t support their use in the food industry.

It would be very good if the governments of all countries entered similar laws. It is necessary to forbid GMO products in all countries.

Humans have been genetically modifying foods for better yields forever, I do agree that I have the right to know if what I am eating is genetically modified (and more specifically how) I wouldn't even think about a ban on the stuff unless extensive research has been done.

I could be nuts on this. But if we can grow more and bigger crops, maybe stop some from starving that is good.
I mean do you want to put nothing on it and let bugs eat up all your crops? You can get very very natural. But I think the extra yield is worth the cost.

Regardless of how one thinks about it, everyone has to have the right to choice. And simply sponsoring some studies that claim that GMO is the same like any other Organism, is needed in order to rule that marking them is illegal because it lowers the profit. Unfair market advantage. And now the US is in debates about TTIP and other free trade agreements that will lead to other countries follow the same rule. Otherwise they will be sued at corporate courts. Governments then only has the chance to bough to the companies. Otherwise they will have to pay high fines if they lose. This more and more looks like a take over of world governments through companies. And the politicians are submissive helpers. Of course when they see the nice job in the future. The current situation reminds me on these scifi movies. Companies rule directly. I hope these movies are wong. By the way... these great GMOs did nothing like they should have done. Multiresistences build up. Now they build even harder venoms to kill multiresistent weed. Even though these venoms are found in humans now and knowing that they, for example, can damage unborn childs. The promising world of GMO is so colorful. The truth is nothing like it. And if it would be handled like insuline production, i wouldnt care. But GMO is no medicine and they grow it practically without protection. This report from the International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD) might be interesting to some who think its the solution to everything: http://apps.unep.org/publications/pmtdocuments/Agriculture_at_a_Crossroads_Global_Report.pdf

Higher yields can be achieved with normal crops as well. But right now, the major GMO producers such as Monsanto and Cargill are forming a monopoly, and they are almost forcing the farmers to use their GMO seeds. For example, smaller corn farmers in the USA, who use traditional seeds have been facing harassment from Monsanto for many decades now.
