I have both a Metro and a Loblaws close by, and the Loblaws has a way bigger selection of organic veggies and fruits then the Metro by the way.
My parents go to Longo's and they buy organic white grapefruits, those are not sweet yet very delicious, flavorful. Way better then the red grapefruits...I wonder if red grapefruits are GMO or less natural...it used to be all stores sell red and white, a long time ago...now most store sell just the yucky red grapefruits  :'(

What about the mini-bananas, those really tiny ones? Are those GMO? I rarely eat them anymore, but to me they have a better flavor and less sweet and have a bit bigger seeds then the regular bananas (which I no longer eat).

i remember those grapefruits now that u mention it. i was only a lil kid though, i think im a few years yougner than u(21) but as for a lot of fruits, i think the plants were pollinated by the GMO ones, as i check out "seedles watermellons" that say they r not GMO (dont have the #8) so its all topsy turvey nemore. i have not seen a white grapefruit for ages tho, but have seen the fucking huge ones that are like bowling balls but supper lite in weight/seedless. sooooo whack/frankin
