Food Irradiation Can Save Thousands of Lives Each Year

Because the elements used do not emit neutrons, they do not make anything around them radioactive. Electron beams, or e-beams, are a stream of high-energy electrons propelled out of an electron gun and have been used as medical sterilizers for at least 15 years. X-ray irradiation can also be used for food irradiation and is a more powerful version of the machines used in many hospitals and dental offices to take X-ray pictures.--- Lenka Kollar

In other words, this can be a big help for public health, but is banned instead because of stupidity and ignorance peddled by the anti-nuke crowd.

If you read Trashing the Planet, by Dixie Lee Ray, you would have known all this for more than 20 years.  I did.  Rush Limbaugh recommended the book.  Too bad the left has such a death grip on the public mind, it is literally killing people.
