Furthermore I just came across an article in Hetq.am about genetically modified food being sold in Armenia without proper labelling. Unfortunately, small rural farmers who still grow “clean” prooduce have a tough time getting their goods to market in Yerevan and other large urban areas. Then too, they are being squeezed out by large supermarket chains owned by Armenian MP’s and others with political backing. In a word, the idealized picture of an Armenian villager plowing the land and making a decent living from an honest day’s work is fast disappearing. Readers might be also interested to know that mmuch of the wheat used to bake bread in Armenia and Artsakh is imported. Is is genetically altered? Hard to say.

There are reports that livestock had been grazing over an open toxic waste dump in Nubarashen before local environmentalists sounded the alarm. Before going off half-cocked about the purity of Armenian agriculture readers need to do their homework. I would suggest the website Ecolur as a start.

Armenia is land of organic life. lush, fertile, best food quality of life. none of that processed chemical high fructose corn syrup fattening sodium american crap cancerous foods. 90% of Hayastan food is organic and fresh. you order lamb, beef, chicken, pork, quail, or whatever…that meat dish you ordered at the restuarant was slaughtered fresh 1-3 days ago, with NO hormones mormones, biotics schmiotics, chemicals, steroids, its all 100% ORGANIC GRASS FED WILD ROAMING ANIMAL PRODUCTS
those fruit roll-ups are the REAL DEAL, not that chemical HFCS crap you buy from the shelves of ralphs, vons, albertsons, or whatever supermarket corporate chain store in america.
our food quality in Hayastan is ranked in top 10 of the world
and our Gata…ooooiiiyyy that sweet beautiful tastey Haykakan bread, I love it so much, I die for it
