i just wanted to respond to the last bit of your post, i just noticed it. its meaner than the other bits ;)
if i were given 3 samples of food and told that an e coli outbreak came from one of them ,it would be foolhardy not to test one of them because i was told it had been irradiated at some point in its 'life'.
do you think thats a fair statement , and i ask genuinely, im not trying to be clever, it would seem i'm failing that in most peoples opinions already.

Texasmame:

Indeed it WOULD be foolhardy not to test it!

Here's what you're missing:

1 - you keep stressing the HUMAN fecal matter
2 - you either aren't privy to or have heard about the numerous (numerous to me, at least) e coli outbreaks in the States here that have invariably been caused by ANIMAL fecal matter
3 - irradiation kills the e coli bacteria, and had the cases in question in the States here been subject to irradiation, there wouldn't have been the e coli outbreaks

Methinks it's just a language thing, is all, and the numerous reports of such cases in our country that you might not be aware of.  Processing of food in our country and widespread contamination tends to come from sources OTHER than the guy packaging your food who forgot to wash his hands after leaving a steamer in the loo a few moments before, and it's kind of ironic (there's that word again ;D ) that these cases are well known to our country to the point that they disagree with your viewpoint, and even MORE ironic given that you were a "food scientist" ;D

See, it's all kinds of funny, but it matters greatly the perspective in this case.

'Of', rather. But not necessarily. Just cos someone doesn't use capitlization and punctuation doesn't mean they can't think clearly. Also, just cos what someone learns somewhere isn't what you're familiar with, or what isn't what in your experience is mainstream, doesn't mean it's incorrect or inaccurate. For that matter, both your all's ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- could be, to whatever degree.

polaris: 100g of protein a day. From the sources I've seen, less than a gram of protein per pound of muscle is for those who aren't very active, particularly in strength and muscle-building exercises. Are you 75 kilos and not very active? And on fruit, again: what about fruit in your knowledge and experience is crucial to nutrition? (Lastly, don't let the crowd get at ya.)
