Pay Attention To The Codes On Fruits and Vegetables!
When buying fruits and vegetables pay attention to the code.
A four digit code that starts with the number four, tells you that the item in question was treated with chemicals and pesticides. (Not the best)
A five digit code that starts with the number eight lets you know that you’re looking at a GMO crop. (THIS IS WHAT TO AVOID!)
A five digit code that starts with the number nine would be an organically grown product. (This is ideal and will cost a little more)
So, what’s a GMO and why should I avoid it?
GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism. It’s what happens when giant corporations begin to modify how our food is grown. Fresh fruits and vegetables that should improve our health end up only harming it. The essential vitamins and minerals are stripped from the food in exchange for fillers and foreign DNA.
Estimates now say that up to ninety percent of soy, cotton, and corn sold in the U.S. has been genetically engineered. These products are known to cause harmful side effects, yet the government has approved them for sale.
The only way to change this disturbing trend is to let these companies know that we are willing to pay more for organically grown fruits, vegetables, and meat, rather than less for chemically engineered products. So, do your research before going to the grocery store and look out for the proper codes when reaching for that shiny apple.
