Chandler Mazour is Monsanto technology development lead for Ukraine, Russia. :magnify:

Mazour described the people of Kiev as kind, warm and welcoming and much like the people 50 years ago in the United States.

?Seafood is good here and the chicken tastes better than in the United States,? he said. ?Beef tartar (ground beef that can be mixed with other ingredients) is also quite popular.?

The most surprising aspect of his job, Mazour said, is the eagerness of Ukrainian farmers to learn new agricultural technologies and partner with Monsanto.

That is surprising. I'd wonder if those new agricultural technologies were behind bad-tasting chicken, ground beef so toxic you can no longer eat it medium rare, (let alone raw), and the current poor dispositions of the U.S. population. Perhaps Ukraine, Russia could teach us a thing or two.
