I remember back in the 50s - 60s on the dairy farm, some whacky forerunners of the AGW loonies of today, were giving themselves hernias over supposed Strontium 90 in the milk from cows grazing on grass that contained nuclear fallout.
That slowly fizzled out and went away, as I hope this current AGW lunacy soon does....but probably won’t because prostitute politicians and media types have become co-conspirators in the fraud.
Whatever became of irradiated foods? Late 1950’s stuff.
It would keep forever with no refrigeration & contained zero residual radiation. No change in nutrients.
But people thought eating it would result in their conceiving Blinky the three eyed five legged boy, as the word `mutation’ was itself scary. So the idea died.
