Guest guest Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Backslider's Cornerby Jim Carey How to read the little stickers on loose fruits and vegetables... These stickers can tell you a lot about the food you are buying. A label with four digits indicates conventionally grown food. Labels with five digits starting with an 8 indicate that the food is Genetically Modified. Labels with five digits starting with a 9 indicate that the food is Organically Grown. I've printed this, cut it out and kept it in my wallet. But then I developed a mental association and can remember it without looking - "Four digits - normal food. 5 digits - heads up!" Then I consider that 9 is higher than 8, and remember that Organically grown is superior to - higher than - Genetically Modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
