Know Your Fish Tomatoes!

Have You Ever Wondered About Those Little Stickers That You Find On Your Fruits And Veggies? Here's What The Numbers On The Stickers Mean:

If The Number On The Sticker Starts With A [4], That Means That The Product Is Conventionally Grown (IE: With Pesticides, Herbicides, Etc.)

If The Number On The Sticker Starts With A [9], That Means That The Product Is Organically Grown (IE: NO Pesticides, Herbicides, Etc.)

If The Number On The Sticker Starts With An [8], That Means That The Product Is GMO (IE: Genetically Modified Organism). GMO Foods Are Created By Corporations Such As Monsanto. Examples Of Genetic Modifications Are: Crossing Tomatoes With Flounders (Yes, As In The Fish) To Create A Longer Cold-Storage Life. Find Out More About GMO Foods Here:
