As many of you know,

the only way to avoid GMO's, chemicals and irradiated food is to buy USDA Organic. If you purchase a non-organic banana, it has been zapped with radiation before it comes into the country. Many fruits, produce, poultry, and beef are irradiated. Still many people choose not to buy organic because of price and because they don't see the immediate consequences, they have a false sense of security. (I am probably preaching to the choir here, but sometimes we all need a reminder of how bad our food can be.)
I realize that some things aren't within some budgets, but pick and choose what you can afford. Look for sales at stores that sell organic products and stock up. Also, growing your own food and buying from local farmers is a way around the higher price. It may be life-saving one day.
