Written plainly and passionately, Zapped! Irradiation and the Death of Food is a call to action for anyone who cares about what they eat. In the book, policy expert Wenonah Hauter tackles a decades-long public relations ruse by the food industry. Hauter exposes irradiation, long touted as the solution to the growing problem of foodborne illnesses and contamination, as a dangerous practice with too little research to back it up. Packed with resources for the activist as well as nuts-and-bolts facts about irradiation, Zapped! sheds light on the human health, food safety, and economic consequences of irradiating our food.
