Nuclear device for the kitchen, yes really

I am not a lawyer, but doesn't a false allegation have to be published to be considered libel?

You are probably correct.

But from the Postal point-of-view, filing a Form 1500 is strictly an expression that you don't want to receive these materials that you PERSONALLY find as "sexually oriented advertising".

Like I said, I did this with Fingerhut, who seem to put you on their list anytime you buy a car. That's been several cars ago, and I've not received diddley from them since the filing.

We celebrated Father's Day yesterday, so that the out-of-town children and grandchildren could drive home today, for work tomorrow, rather than risk beer-and-wine-induced sleepiness on the road tonight. (It's

3-1/2 hours to Yuma from here.)

4 children, 3 spouses, 1 girl friend, 6 grandchildren ages 4 to 16; counting me and the wife, 16 people in all, ate on the patio since it was only 100°F ;-)

We had ribs, gazpacho, charro beans, corn-on-the-cob, cole slaw and cheesecake, plus numerous appetizers... all home-cooked by the better half.

As to sushi, I'm a purist, just sashimi for me. And I just love deep-fried soft-shelled crabs.

Irradiation IS NOT the same as genetically modified. How many times do I have to say that?

Irradiation at low levels simply kills bacteria inside a sealed package.

maybe they could combine it with a nuclear powered energy program ?

does the food get cooked in the normal way anyway, if so whats wrong with sealing before (apart from energy perhaps) ? or does the radiation make the food more resistant to bacterial growth ? or does it taste better due to no (over)cooking ?

and why dont they publish results of tests of safety of such foods to dispell such so caled bogus tests that claim mice/rats get ill when fed on it ?

one problem with food is that any doubt about its safety whatsoever can quickly ruin ones appetite for it.

Stamp out sex and cancer will be completely eliminated by 2100 or so. ;-)

There was a study some years back that showed that appeared to show a correlation between cervical contact with sperm and cervical cancer.

With Sulfur Dioxide, forming Sodium Bisulfite, of which I am very allergic... ba-a-a-ad headaches. Asthmatics can die from exposure to Sodium Bisulfite, that's why it is prohibited from salad bars in the US.

Wines have some naturally, but I only seem to react to the additive variety.

A device to do this has been made, and was published a few years back, but the feeling was that the UK market was not ready for food treaded in such a way.

I belive a seach of New Scientest will find the article for you, but it was a while ago, so it may be a different magazine.

I'm no chemist, hated the course so much that, at the end of Freshman year, we went out to the middle of Harvard Bridge and dumped our chemistry books into the Charles ;-)

Regret it to this day. Those notes were far better than any chemistry book I've tried to use to aid me thru some electro-chemistry issues :-(

However, SO2 is a _gas_, and is used to preserve fruit, like dried raisins, prunes and apricots.

My understanding is that this forms NaHSO3 on the surface of the fruit.

NaHSO3 is added to wines, shows on every label.

Maybe a chemistry major will jump in here and elucidate us.

I'll ask my daughter in the morning if she knows anything about it (she runs the Phoenix water labs), but bisulfite might not be in her repertoire.
