When navigating the produce section, 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 genetically modified (GM).

genetically modified doesn't necessarily mean 'bad for you.' it could mean that it was grown to repel insects, instead of a farmer using an insecticide. much healthier for you--most of the time, the alteration is done to add more to the produce, not take away. biology has learned me quite a bit...just don't ask me about cells. for some reason, i forgot them all on a quiz friday!
can't help it... don't like them... it's not nice to fool Mother Nature!
i know, but the corn you eat is genetically altered. if you ate the "real" corn, you'd prolly not like it!
