Shop Safe....and Live Smart


Read the Numbers on Your Fruit
Please share this information.

Eating organic means no poisonous pesticides, that lead to unknown numbers of ailments down the line. I know food is expensive, but this is one area where the expense pays off for you and all Life. We all know, that like our grandfolks, having a garden and growing as much of our own food is BEST. It's cheaper and enjoyable as gardening is relaxing and the entire cycle of Life that the activity brings you into is simply wholesome.

Back to the Earth, and the elements. A chance to experience one's Life working in concert with real powers.


Thank you Aaliyah for sharing the message below.

I just found this out about a month ago and I've been an organic vegan for over four years, go figure. That just goes to say that we must all remain as students and continue to learn and learn — never stop studying and gaining new information.

Okay, so what did I learn? I learned that sticker labels on the fruits actually tell you how the fruits have been grown — whether they were organically grown or conventionally grown with pesticides and herbicides; oh, and let's not forget about the genetically engineered fruits.


Conventional Fruit Labels - Have Four digits and mostly start with the number 4

Organic Fruit Labels - Have Five digits starting with the number 9

Genetically Modified Fruits - Start with the digit 8
** this is good to know because stores aren't obligated to tell you if a fruit has been genetically modified (grrr….)


Okay, so if you come across an apple in the store and it's label reads 4922 , it's a conventional apple grown with herbicides and harmful fertilizers.

If it has a sticker 99222, it's organic and safe to eat.

If it says 89222, then RUN!!!! It has been genetically modified (GMO).

So next time you go shopping, remember these critical numbers and know how to avoid purchasing inorganic and GMO fruits.

Shop Safe :)
