I copied the photo from Chris Powell's Facebook page (he received it from one of his followers). It's kind of shocking when I think about how a short little PLU code tells you so much about produce. I try to eat healthy, which happens about 95% of the time. Fresh fruits and vegetables that are organic are ALWAYS better than the other kind. Apparently there are three types of produce; organic (yay!), produce grown on farms in real dirt and "GMO" produce, Genetically Modified produce (EW!). Eating genetically modified produce really freaks me out (what do you think? Comment below please!).
Eating organic (no pesticides) produce really doesn't cost much more than the other types, especially when it's on sale. For really good organic produce, check out Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Harry's Farmers Market and Trader Joes (these are the most popular). I want to encourage organic produce because it's soooo much better for you!
What's your opinion on this? How do you feel about GMO produce??
Hi Ariel. Thanks for this great info. I never knew, and I'm 48 years old raising 2 children and that's such important info. Anyway, was on a Facebook site and saw your link, so I thought I'd check it out. I wish you a lot of luck in college as well as with writing. Nancy
