Discerning GMOs (if it’s 9, it’s fine)

The Meaning Of The PLU First Digit On Fresh Produce

8 The product is definitely genetically modified (G.M.O.), and almost any chemical may have been used on it, at any time.  It is a toxic Frankenfood.  Please boycott whichever company is producing it.
3 The product is likely genetically modified (G.M.O.), and almost any chemical may have been used on it, at any time.
4 The product was ‘conventionally grown’ with synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides.  Make note that there is a new generation of pesticides cannot be washed off (reference episode 5 of The Heath Wyze Report); because these pesticides are fed to the roots, and infuse into every cell of the plant.  These ‘conventionally grown’ foods have approximately 1/10th of the nutritional value of equivalent organic produce, and are significantly less flavorful.
9 This is the highest quality produce, the most nutritious, the most natural, and the most safe.  The product is organic (non-G.M.O.), and it was grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or any chemicals whatsoever.   These are truly all-natural.  When you see a PLU number beginning with 9, think purity and extremely high nutritional value.  For example, an apple with a PLU of 9 will be more nutritious than a bowl of PLU 4 spinach.
