Scientists who fail to mention where E.coli 0157 strain originated from in the first place who then go on to condemn organic farming because of what was still an unsubstantiated claim (new unknown strain of E.coli bacterial form) of the German Bean Sprout outbreak is pretty poor for an article, which made it into the New Scientist magazine.

Quote:
Escherichia coli O157:H7 excretion by commercial feedlot cattle fed either barley- or corn-based finishing diets.

Link to article i.e. Cows and Cattle being force fed GMO corn in the industrial process cycle much beloved of fast food restaurant chains is the originating causality of the German bean sprout Ecoli 0157 ?? out break can just as easily be claimed.

As for the irradiation of foods then it would be easy to dismiss the article as well by suggesting that this is already being carried out on a very wide scale in Japan and the eastern Pacific Ocean as we speak. And there are quite a few folks who aren't really to happy about it.
