So our government is set to allow another 11 fresh fruits and vegetables to be irradiated with Cobalt 60--a by-product of nuclear reactor technology--namely, apples, apricots, strawberries, rock melons, grapes, zucchinis, nectarines, peaches, plums, cherries and honey dew melons. We grow abundant amounts of these foods in NZ--but the Australian govt wants us to import them from Queensland, the fruit fly capital of the world --so they will be irradiated to kill fruit flies, which will reduce their vitamin content, produce free radicals and odd compounds such as unique radiolytic compounds which are never found in nature. And they wont need to be individually labelled either --just a sign somewhere near them saying they have been treated with ionizing electrons. I will be boycotting Australian produce and investing more in home grown.
