Also interesting in context with this post about radiated vegetables is the gamma irradiation of Sewage Sludge which they later use as a product in
fertilizers.
As I understand it, they use radiation to disinfect and to reduce harmful pathogenic bacteria and other biological pollutants in sewage sludge.
They have all these mountains of sludge around the world, and the mountains of sludge is growing around the world for each year with growing
population and more effective treatment plants.
A couple of decades ago, the most common way to get rid of these mountains of mixed bio-toxic sludge was to dump the crap into our oceans and on land,
as landfill or burning the sludge.
Since then the dumping of the growing toxic sludge mountains into the oceans are mostly forbidden worldwide - and the controversy and the growing
resistance of using it as fertilizers is also quite logical since there are actual evidence that toxic bacteria can infect crops and vegetables in the
fields.
If you google "E.coli bacteria in sewage sludge and wastewater" you get tons of results - both scientific papers from Governments around the world and
scientific articles & other results related to pathogenic bacteria in sludge - very interesting to read.
This information is also quite interesting to read:

PATHOGENS AND INFECTIOUS TOXIN PROTEINS IN SLUDGE/BIOSOLIDS
From the link above:
This data shows EPA and its partners (state environment departments, municipal wastewater and soil scientists), knew This data shows EPA and its
partners (state environment departments, municipal wastewater and soil scientists), knew wastewater treatment plants transformed nonpathogenic
bacteria into pathogenic multi-drug resistant toxin protein producing bacteria through gene transfer prior to the creation of the part 503 sludge
rules.
EPA and its partners have conspired to keep this data from the people who have been tricked into accepting sludge/biosolids as an unlabelled soil
amendment or as a cheap fertilizer based on strictly controlled and very limited studies. EPA and its partners have continued to promote
sludge/biosolids as the damage to public health, animal health and the environment became more and more apparent to the public.
If I had my shiny sleuthing hat on - I could perhaps suspect a possibility that all of this could be related in some weird way:
- The growing mountains of sewage sludge around the world and their need to get rid of this sludge while making money in that process.
- The increased radiation levels in our enviroment after Fukushima to hide other irradiation of Sewage Sludge/Bio solids and thereof also the
vegetables? (never waste a good crises)
- The sudden outbreak of a very unique E.coli bacteria strain with very special genetic DNA which never has been detected on this scale before in
nature.
From the article above I also found a very interesting and possible link to nasty fungus in the soil?
On top of that, mycotoxin proteins (damage lungs and liver) from fungi must be contended with by farmers using sludge/biosolids and those
who use compost. Yet, for 25 years EPA and its wastewater partners have promoted sewage sludge/biosolids as a safe and cheap fertilizer for food
crops
PATHOGENS AND INFECTIOUS TOXIN PROTEINS IN SLUDGE/BIOSOLIDS
I found this the same article above, could perhaps also be related to a very recent thread here on ATS?:
Deadly Fungus Strikes Joplin Tornado Survivors, Volunteers
Maybe this fungi came from the sludge/biosolids in the fields and was then spread by the recent Tornado?
