I would not.
So many pesticides and chemical fertilizers are used in other countries that now ship worldwide. Yoiu would be ingesting all of these in fairly large, unadulterated quantities. Seems risky!
I think that it would be much more beneficial to be raw than not to be raw.
If you can't get organic, try to at least buy local grown produce and for certain things you can cut the skin off to avoid some pesticide/chemical residue.
If you are eating a low fat raw food diet, you will find things easier to digest than you would on a cooked diet and thus your body will have more energy to release those toxins you may consume through eating the non organic fruits and vegetables.
I would also look into growing your own. Things like lettuce and spinach are easy to grow. You could start off with a few things and expand. Otherwise local markets are useful, which may leave you open to being able to get some organic at the least.
Organic foods are better than conventional, but there are healthy foods far beyond "organic" in nutritional value. Investigate concentrated natural whole foods that are so nutrient dense you would have to eat a pile of fruits and vegetables to equal the same level of benefits for the body.
It's a concentration of phytonutrients and bioflavonoids fronm plants that makes these formulas so effective for satisfying hunger, eliminating cravings, and encouraging a healthy lifestyle.
You'll find that they can really take a healthy lifestyle to a higher level, quickly, without the hassle and time consumed by preparing all those raw foods. Often, these concentrated whole food formulas contain the same kinds of live enzymes that raw foodists seek in their diet. So, this more modern approach makes a raw lifestyle much easier.

since a raw food diet requires you to eat mass amounts of fruits and vegtables, will the pesticides and harmful effects of non-organic fruits and vegetables be excessivly detremental to my body
