WHAT FRUIT YOU ARE EATING

KNOW YOUR FRUIT

Note the #s on the Fruit Label

Conventional Fruit Labels: Four digits starting with 4

Organic Fruit Labels: Five digits and starts with number 9

Genetically Modified Fruits: Start with the digit 8

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

This is good to know because stores aren't obligated to tell you if a fruit has been genetically modified.

So if you come across an apple in the store and its label is 4734, it's a conventional apple grown with herbicides and harmful fertilizers.

If it has a sticker 97354, it's organic and safe to eat.

If it says 87354, then do not buy!!!!! It has been Genetically Modified (GMO).

Keep away from No. 8

STUDENT VS PROFESSOR

After having failed his exam in "Logistics and Organization" , a student goes and confronts his lecturer about it.

Student: "Sir, do you really understand anything about the subject?"

Professor: "Surely I must. Otherwise I would not be a professor!"

Student: "Great, well then I would like to ask you a question.

If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my mark as is and go. If you however do not know the answer, I want you give me an "A" for the exam. "

Professor: "Okay, it's a deal. So what is the question?"

Student: "What is legal, but not logical, logical, but not legal, and neither logical, nor legal?"

Even after some long and hard consideration, the professor cannot give the student an answer, and therefore changes his exam mark into an "A", as agreed.

Afterwards, the professor calls on his best student and asks him the same question.

He immediately answers: "Sir, you are 63 years old and married to a 35 year old woman, which is legal, but not logical. Your wife has a 25 year old lover, which is logical, but not legal. The fact that you have given your wife's lover an "A", although he really should have failed, is neither legal, nor logical."
