Thanks for posting this. I think there is some argument to this

statement made in the article. Although irriation is an option, it might be

better

to solve the orginal problem. I never can imagine telling someone who lost

their mom to food borne illness that it is because consumers won't be for safe

food.

It is unrealistic to attempt to produce beef, chicken, fresh produce, or

spices free from pathogens except at an enormous cost not affordable by average

consumers.

While attempts have been made to search for effective methods to ensure the

microbiological safety of fresh produce, irradiation -- a method proven safe and

effective for inactivating pathogenic bacteria in any fresh, frozen, or dried

food -- continues to be ignored...

Death from food-borne illness is truly sad and unfortunate, especially when

it it personal. However, we don't assume driving a car is 100% safe. We know

that hospital/medical/drug related deaths are one of the largest causes of

death in the US, but people still go to their doctors and hospitals and take

meds.

Sometimes, we just realize that life is what it is, no guarantees.

If somebody thinks our food supply should be 100 percent safe, they would

surely never travel to 3/4ths of the countries in the world; or even eat at a

friends house or eat out - the risk of foodborne illness outside the US in

many countries is MUCH higher than it is here, and always more risk when you

don't know how the food has been handled.

I've politely refused food at some homes, because it was obvious that safe

food handling practices were not used.
