food irradiation

[Philip Hypes <phypes@lanl.gov>]

For those of you who are interested, there was an online chat on ABC.com
today that dealth with e. coli safety.  The principle "chatter" has, sadly,
lost his son to e. coli.  He made some very supportive statements about
food irradiation.  I was almost surprised that there weren't any
radiation-phobic responses.  For the complete text, go to
