I used to think they were until I found hoards of them in my compost after months of decomposition. I make sure to dispose of them in the bin before putting them in the compost. Then again, as you said, they're not a big issue in terms of volume.

I must admit that I have never looked at what was on those stickers. Shame on me!

Thank goodness I only buy a few items from the supermarkets now that I am growing my own.

I must remember number 9 when I go shopping next. Its my lucky number, so shouldn't be too hard 🙂

I can remember the day when there weren't any sticky labels on fruits…..now that dates me doesn't it?

Australia is far away from most places so this should be the "go to" place for everything that is green and clean and much sought after (it doesn't make sense to spoil everything). Once GMO has it's claws into us there's no going back.
