1. high speed sharp bladed food processors that always have interlocks.
Interlocking prevents any hand contact with moving blades. There is
also the fact that in use one does not see spinning blades, but rather
a mass of moving food. And the food does not move fast enough to apear
stationary

Not all.

2. low speed blunt paddle devices that are open. These move so slowly
it is not possible to encounter a strobing problem with fl lighting on
50 or 60Hz. The blades move such a small amount between each half cycle
that this simply can not be a problem.

So there is no risk at all in using mag ballasted fl lighting with cake
mixers.

Oh I rather think not. The CakeMaster 3000 has a variable speed DC drive
with digital speed feedback and clearly has blade settings at 100 and
120 Hz. The motor is rated 3HP and the blades are barbed to facilitate
good reduction of cake batter without lumps.

Several wealthy old ladies have quite literally been pureed to death in
these kitchen monsters. In one instance the only clue to what had
happened was that the mixing bowl was fuller than normal and had a
fluffy slipper perched on it's edge.
