Here beans are from Kenya, Philippines or Morocco,apples and pears from South-Africa (with dosens of wonderful apple and pear orchards all around here - sometimes abandoned). And meat : not only lambs are from New Zealand, but also game (with alpine forests all around, sorry to be so repetitive!).<br /><br />What is encouraging is civil society reaction : at retailer shops you can observe more and more people reading through labels to check the origin (retailers have to indicate it). And oline petitions meet great succes : here is an example http://www.raslafraise.ch/, about strawberries cultivated in Spain by illegal immigrants in slavery conditions, and with environment hazard : water shortage due to forceful irrigation, etc...<br /><br />Grrr...<br /><br />So, enjoy your Grozny garlic...<br />As for sunny weather, it WILL come! :)<br />Take care<br /><br />GeniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202630.post-11282062337302854152009-04-19T13:52:00.000+04:002009-04-19T13:52:00.000+04:00Воістину воскрес!Воістину воскрес!Nikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13099350018481469839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202630.post-20789710518430439472009-04-19T12:08:00.000+04:002009-04-19T12:08:00.000+04:00Христос воскрес!Христос воскрес!Tarashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18139892487573795049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202630.post-45495090302928530832009-04-17T05:47:00.000+04:002009-04-17T05:47:00.000+04:00Hi,

I lived in Istra (just outside Moscow) for a year a couple of years ago and studied for a semester in St. Petersburg a few years before that-- I miss Russia and feel as though I get to visit through your blog. I really appreciate your commentary on so many of the things I found interesting and intriguing (like where the produce at the market came from) as well as things I found troubling (like xenophobia.)
