you guys know i'm all out for a better healthier world. i learned something recently that i read knowing i was going to let you know.
you know those little annoying stickers on the fruit and veggies in the produce section? that is, if you even shop in the produce section...that would be a good place to start: getting away from all the unhealthy processed and preserved foods in all their wasteful packaging. anyway, the stickers...
the numbers on those little stickers let you know whether they've been conventionally grown, or organic, or even genetically modified (GM).
GM foods are a bit questionable to me. they haven't been around very long, so we don't fully know any long term health risks, and there are questions of reducing biodiversity.
Look for the labels stuck on your fruits and veggies:
a four-digit number means it's conventionally grown.
a five-digit number beginning with 9 means it's organic.
a five-digit number beginning with 8 means it's GM.
