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

The Meaning Of The PLU First Digit On Fresh Produce

8The 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.
3The product is likely genetically modified (G.M.O.), and almost any chemical may have been used on it, at any time.
4The 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.
9This 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.
