Food irradiation is perfectly safe. Americans are unhealthy because they are fat, not because gamma rays kill off bacteria in their food.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Food irradiation is perfectly safe.  

The truth is I don't believe this.  Not because killing bacteria is bad, but because I do not trust the people managing the operations and because I know with certainty I cannot trust the government to monitor it.  I write from the US so you know what I am saying is true.  

When someone seeks to introduce novel and dangerous proceedures, I believe the burden of proof of safety is on them, not the victims.  

I know this differs from the conventional view that it is the victims' job to prove how they have been killed.  

The Fates are kind.
