The article, Cancer Panel attacks U.S. food subsidies, generally discusses eating unhealthy foods, which I felt was a step in the right direction as it steers us toward eating more fruits and vegetables. This is a good thing IF you are eating fruits and vegetables that are organically grown. To eat conventionally grown fruits and veggies is to take your health into your own hands (see There's sewage sludge in food?!).

The more I learn, the worse it gets. Now we not only have to look for organic food, but we must also determine *where* it came from and what was likely done to it. Yikes, Lynn.

Various sludges may contaminate the produce grown in it, while ionizing radiation kills it. Foods coming into this country from overseas are irradiated, so that high-priced organic banana from Central America arrives pretty much depleted of the living nutrients that are the excellent trade-off for its carbohydrate calories. Radiation, of course, is lethal to living things, which is why it is used to remove insects, bacteria, and mold from food. But, it's like swatting a fly with a sledgehammer to use this ill-advised control method in importation of so much of our food supply. Hello Diane,
