The deadly E. coli in Europe was blamed on fresh organic vegetables.  Warnings issued everywhere: “Don’t eat your vegetables!”  This was followed with rather unseemly rapidity by food safety “experts” calling for the irradiation of fresh food, for more funding for the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), and for a global food safety agency.

A detective steps in.  Pondering begins.

1.  Irradiation of food.  Hmm.  Odd.

Doesn’t irradiation of food turn even safe food dangerous?

2.  More funding for FSMA.  Hmm.  Odd.

Aren’t farming and natural health groups across the country trying to “defund” FSMA because it is in the hands of a rather (is “detested” too strong a word?) Monsanto executive who, in the name of “food safety” is ordering armed raids against organic farms, co-ops and food producers and under FSMA can do the same to natural health people and products?
