Chemistry professor Robert L. Wolke hit one out of the park with his latest “Food 101” column in the Washington Post. Wolke put the lie to the nannies’ needless warnings about food irradiation, pointing out that the scientific community is behind this important technology. Among those opposed is Ralph Nader’s group Public Citizen, which Wolke said inundated him with a large number of identical protest letters, “as doctrinaire as any dogma held by a religious sect.” Our kudos to Professor Wolke for telling the truth.
