"Does It Matter if I Eat the Stickers on Fruits and Vegetables?" 

 

Quote

Though the stickers are edible, they have no flavor and no nutritional value. 

 

Ya think?

I just read this in the NY Times.  Someone plagiarized from someone.

The PLU sticker, which stands for “Price Look Up,” serves an important function in grocery stores: how much to charge the clerk for that item.

 

Why is the clerk being charged? I'd do a big shop if the check out clerk was going to be charged!

All 'newspapers' just reprint press releases uncritically. Seeing the same garbage on multiple sites is normal.

Might be why I'm losing weight...I'm only eating the stickers!

The bigger problem may be that you probably aren’t washing your produce before chomping into it  🤨

That headline really stood out for me also. 

 

I didn't read the article. Usually by the time I'm done eating the produce bag I'm too full for the stickers.

TL;DR: All sweeping generalizations are wrong.
