The FDA's recent OK to irradiate lettuce and spinach is but another step to degrade the nutritional value of our food. This process of irradiation represents the refusal of the FDA to properly manage, inspect and guarantee a safe, wholesome and nutritious product on our grocers' shelves.
The obvious solution is to require that irradiated foods be so labeled, to go back to growing our own as much as possible and ensure that the appropriate agricultural practices are in place to make our food supply as safe as humanly possible.
