RE: Food Irradiation

["Busby, Bruce" <bab1303@doh.wa.gov>]

Hi all,

The Current Issue of Modern Maturity (Nov-Dec) is at: 

 http://www.aarp.org/mmaturity/nov_dec98/home.html

The article on food irradiation is under LIFE LINES, but is not (yet?) 
on-line.  Is anyone planning on sending a letter to the editor in 
response? I would think it would be best if a AARP member would... 
[opinion]

Pure Food group, if its the same one I have "talked" with, has a web site 
at: http://www.pure-food.com/

They have mis-leading information (no surprise), plus much that is out of 
date or out of context or just wrong.  Nothing new to say, same old 
arguments. 

We have a web page with info and links on food irradiation:
