Well put! I notice that the rules have been changed so that veggies

Actually, e-field could be a much better way to kill bacteria on the
surface of vegetables, if this whole kooky idea works. I mean, holy

sterilize the food without genetically damaging it.

It's already an FDA approved device, first application I've heard of
is pasturization of apple juice. Google PEF (pulsed electric field)
Diversified Technologies in MA manufactured the device. They're experts
in generating pulses for the DOD and seem to be venturing into new
applications now.
