(everything what you are going to read is documented; some information are based on studies of scientists)
Hello everybody,
I am starting a new topic, because I can't find here info about it.
Let's post here TIPS, advices how to check food in our shops. How to check the difference between GMO and organic food?
I study, observe food everyday and I want to share with my experiences:
________________________________
1. PLU Codes (Numerical Order)
Some information are not hidden, but in our world nobody cares, but let's have a look.
I think everybody here, while eating fruit, vegetables have seen little stickers on the peel.

how you can see on the pic, fx: CHIQUITA #4051 etc..
and now, the most important for us is the FIRST number of every code so, if it is:
from 0 -4 Applies to all non-qualified produce and is generally presented without the leading
"zero" digit. (so toxins, pesticides and chemicals are welcome here)
8 - Genetically modified (GMO)
9 - Organic , Ecological
so now you can go to shop and choose:
a) A conventionally grown banana would be: 4011
b) An organic banana would be: 94011
c) A genetically engineered (GE or GMO) banana would be: 84011
here you can find a list with all of them :
PLU CODES list

2. BAR Codes, EAN Codes and many more like : ITF, Code 39, Code 128..
EVERBODY KNOWS IT!
they were invinted in 1949, to globalize our world and make everything easier.
But does easier mean BETTER ???

Picture shows what I mean, so have you ever thought about what they MEAN?
i think no, because WE DONT CARE!
so the most important for us are 3 first numbers in every code, because they show FOR WHICH COUNTRY is produced your banana etc.
so f.ex. when you see a code and it starts with 000-099... so your banana is produced for a company from the USA ( but it doesn't mean that Banana is FROM USA, nono! :)
but it is easy way to check, calculate and focus on this what you eat, how old it is, for who is produced etc.
When I see a GARLIC in my shop whit a number of CHINA (690 - 695) , and i live in Denmark.. so it is something Wrong for me.. isn't it?
here is the list of countries and codes:
BAR CODES
___________________________
3. FRESH or Old with Toxins + Pesticides ? Nitrites?
Okay if you have read first and second TIP, now read this:
In Europe, are stricter rules and law for food than in the USA, Canada and other countries.
In Europe on food is a signed - Ecological, GMO etc.
But in the USA, there is no rule to sign your food so generally You can't see the difference.
But now, When you are going to buy f.ex. a watermelon, so you have to focus on:
a) where you live - so think how long way does it take to transport a watermelon to your shop?
b) When is season for watermelons ? When do they bloom ? ( these info you can find in an encyclopedia)
Because for me is so strange when in Winter, in Denmark i see big, red strawberries from Holland ?
and in May i see HUGE Watermelons, without seeds - (normally, they are good in September ) ?
so if you see in your shop strawberries for whole the year, that means, they are produced with pesticides, and they are probably GMO.
Especially, producers love to add : Nitrites - chemicals
something like - Sodium nitrite, with chemical formula NaNO2.
BUT WE CAN CHECK it!
let's buy a watermelon and cut a piece and put into glass of water (for 12-24 hours )
a) IF the the color of water will be different - i mean RED, or Pink etc. so in your watermelon are Nitrites - chemicals and other toxins.
b) if water will become turbid, muddy, so you have bought an AWESOME WATERMELON! Let's eat!

4. LAST TODAY:
CODEX ALIMENTARIUS - it is the national book for producers, farmers from every country. It contains rules how to plant vegetables, fruits, howt to feed animals etc.
And they are extremely STRANGE and these organizations are killing us!
they have written f.ex:
1. IF You you want to be a farmer and have cows, so your EVERY COW MUST Be FEED with GROWTH HORMONE produced by Monsanto!!!!!
I AM SO SHOCKED but this is real!!
look, example:
WE are what we eat - CODEX - a MOVIE
I'm serious, READ MORE HERE:
CODEX list
-------------------------
So why you have never heard about it ?
BECAUSE Governments, Media they don't want to us to know!
because burgers= money
because illness=money
because sick people = medicine = money
because they want to be kings of our planet and they want all money for themselves!
only we, CUSTOMERS can change the world!
Let's know the truth! and Lets be HAPPY!
I hope so my tips will help you.
I have eaten ecological food- i m trying - for 5 years, and since this 5 years I have been studying, reading and discovering what we really eat.
If you have any advices, pleas post here.
Soon i will write more, because I want you all TO BE HAPPY!
LET'S BE HAPPY AND enjoy our life!
and here are useful links, movies about differences between GMO and organic food:

Must-see documentary about GMO
still meat problems:
the MeATRIX
see the difference GMO ANIMALS, you have a choice, ( MY OWN MOVIE )
You have a choice, look what we have done with animals
