    Between me and my husband we've been eating organic food for quite some time now and we feel much more healthy and energetic! We have also trimmed our tummies down quite a bit because of it.

  3. There are three vital, but basic, steps to take if you want your family to be healthy. The first is to get back to basics and grow your own vegetables and fruit. Number two is prepare all your food at home, and this leads naturally to the third, give supermarkets the flick they so deserve. It's challenging to begin with, but eventually you will wonder why you ever thought processed food was ok to eat!

    Although there are PLU codes that start with an 8 and are 5 digits for GM produce, these codes are not used because they are not required to by law. No supplier or retailer in their right mind would voluntarily use codes showing the consumer that the item is genetically modified. GM is not exactly a selling point!

  5. Reading the labels on the food.. figuring out the numbers.. is this only for the United States?

    I ask because, a lot of Co-Ops have a lot of fruits being flown in from various other coutries. How do we know that it's organic?

  6. This is great to know…thx to whomever…I live at the tip of the Alaskan Panhandle in Canada/Prince Rupert BC.
    Because I’m not privy to a greenhouse ,I worry about buying secretly irradiated vegetables from the States…what’s the best way to explore for the truth about irradiation???; since “corptocracy” does it’s best to obfuscate the truth & keep this knowledge, below the thresh-holds of our distracted collective awareness.

  7. I would appreciate your giving examples of labeled foods so we can better understand which numbers to look for. This is too vague.

  8. Please someone explain what the #'s this article to talking about. When you say, "Begin with the #_ and never the # _…" I have no idea what that means! Please help me to understand.

    Thank you.

    1. The stickers that are placed on produce is what they are referring to.

  9. Hello, this is an urban legend (the number labeling system for GMO produce). I had been reading this "news" several years ago and checked it out, and found it to be untrue. Genetically modified produce is not labeled in any way at all. That is, in part, why the Just Label It campaign is drawing so much traction. People want to know what they are consuming.

    I'll wait for the improved edition/

  11. I have brought my food consumption down to a minimum. I will tell you this if after you eat something that might contain GMO’S you hit the toilet, I do anyway. A tomato no longer tastes like a tomato and the rule goes to other foods. If you have digestive problems to begin with they will reek havoc even more after consumption. There is an abundance of literature on the computer on this subject and wonderful tips you just need to get hunting. If it is man made do not eat it. Be safe.

  12. Ok, so you buy things labled "organic" indicating they have not had pesticides and other harmful chemical used on them, but the produce must be watered. Where does the water come from? I have half and acre in Phoenix. I irrigate the yard. I would not care to eat food irrigated in my yard. What's in the irrigation water is disgusting, chemicals from those who spray up the line, dead animals floating, run off from businesses that use toxins and let them drain. The alternative is the hose water, which has fluride, lead, pharmaceuticals etc. When buying "organic" the water source ought to be labeld and where along the line the water is taken in. What is upstream from the grow area.
