RE: RE: RE: News. Does anyone have any data or information regarding the effects of eating irradiated meat (or any food for that matter) has on the human body? Has any study been done to confirm such? Can the government possibly approve the process without knowing for sure what those long tern effects may be? The last I heard is that they need the safety proof first before they will endorse any process. I don't think the government will ban the irradiation process but I don't see them mandating it either. I used to eat beef quite often. Always cooked it well done. So why would I need to buy irradiated meat? I don't trust the process myself so I won't be eating beef products anymore. That's just me though. I'm sure the farmers don't really care about me anyway. My bigger concern is my leafy green salads and other raw fruits and vegetables. I can't cook them well. I can only assume they are already irradiating them. I think the local farmers markets are about to make major business gains thanks to irradiation. They can now say it's not only organic, it's not irradiated. TC9
