Re: Food irradiation

["Gibbs, S Julian" <s.julian.gibbs@vanderbilt.edu>]

I cannot understand all the sudden commotion about food 
irradiation.  I was first "exposed" to irradiated food ca 
1960--an irradiated T-bone in sealed plastic that had been 
stored for months in a desk drawer.  It looked great.  I 
was told later that it also tasted great.
