An orange is an orange is an orange, right? Well, maybe not if it's genetically modified (GM). My sister-in-law shared this info about how to easily tell if produce is GM next time you're in the supermarket. All you have to do is look at the little sticker on its side:
A four-digit number means it's conventionally grown.
A five-digit number beginning with 9 means it's organic.

Also, how to stay healthy, mentally and physically -- which to me means keeping creative and engaged in the wide wide world.
