Show #603: GAMMA GOOD FOOD
Guests: Center for Science in the Public Interest’s Sarah Klein, and Food and Water Watch’s Tony Corbo
Subject: The Food and Drug Administration will now allow for the bombardment of of fresh spinach and iceberg lettuce with gamma rays, thus allowing you and I to safely eat greens grown thousands of miles away. Some protest this move by the FDA, and so we ask… What’s wrong with irradiation?
Topics include how deadly pathogens enter our food chain via fresh greens to sicken and kill; how radio active gamma radiation will be used to kill the deadly pathogens, thus making infested foods safe to eat; and why some object to irradiation.
