The part I like best is meeting Mad Cow or Mad Deer in your local pet food.    Don't let your cat have that litter box or you may begin to feel funny.   Hand's twitch and start having Vertigo.    Come to think of it.   That's what I went to the ER for the other night.    They said it wasn't "acute" yet and sent me home to use a cane.

If you are looking for low level radiation, you will be able soon to get it at your local school

I was wondering why the push on something that might be so controversial. The major emphasis is not to reduce the risk of salmonella but to keep meat companies from having to throw so much away or grind it up and put it in dog food.

Arthur,
It is likely that low-level radiation is good for you.
So, keep bathing.

No, Harry, low level radiation is certainly not good for us -- except for all the radioactivity in the earth's crust which keeps the place warm. Fortunately, very little of it gets to the surface.

But whatever radiation does get to the surface, or whatever radiation gets at us from outer space, does nothing but cause immense damage. The DNA in each of our cells is disrupted thousands of times a day (according to the molecular biologists) and has to be repeatedly repaired.  A very deal deal of the energy that our bodies need is used in maintaining our DNA in decent condition. In due course (that is, in your and my case) the repairing processes don't quite keep up with the radiation damage and we inevitably acquire some form of cancer (unless we're chopped off by some other illness).

But you seem in good nick so far. Keep on wearing your lead-lined underclothes!
