The link lists some of the stuff added to processed foods and the nature of those additives. Hope this will help to understand my concerns for hiding information that can help the consumer with choices of what they choose to consume. Frankenfood contains any combination of the chemicals listed in the following link.

Remember when the tobacco companies insisted that cigarette smoking wasn't hazardous to your health? Thanks FDA! There is science on both sides that are conflicting regarding irradiation. I have heard the it's just fine and want harm you just as mentioned by others in this thread. I thinks it's fine if some people want to consume it, it's their right. What I am concerned about are the people like myself that would like another choice. Just as some food now carry the Organic label, I will assume that there will be a market for the food that carries the "Not Irradiated Organic" sticker. Foods without the label ("Not Irradiated) will be considered irradiated and therefore not purchased in my case. It's a free country and I just want the right to choose. I'm sure Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are keeping an eye on things in order to fill a nitch.
