Food Irradiation Controversy

The technology of irradiating food is, to say the least, quite controversial. Here is an article that gives some interesting background information on the subject. I am not sure which side to take on this issue. Obviously more research needs to be done.

In a follow-up story, the USFDA has approved irradiation on some produce in this country. No doubt the recent salmonella problems with peppers and tomatoes was a factor in this action.
