Problems crop up with all of those things, Rich, and with many more,

the levels of government regulation and inspection we have. With no

And yet that same government refuses to permit a method of killing
bacteria on
food that has been in use in Europe for a generation: irradiation. Go

Do you remember what happened when they started that? It was just like
"frankenfood" in Europe. People went nuts over the idea of eating food that
had been exposed to nuclear radiation. It was all politics based on
irrational fears.

The US army used it on beef. Maybe they still do.
