First Assignment

My Inquiry question is why food irradiation is dangerous? Food irradiation the process of passing radiation into food to kill insects and bacteria that cause food borne illness. An example would be E. coli. I chose this question because it was previously talked about in my biology class.I figure since I had previous knowledge on the subject from researching it for a biology assignment I could use their prior knowledge in this case as well. I've found a multitude of website for my topic including a Harvard University Research site that provides background information on food irradiation. It relevant because it is being largely used on the foods that we eat especially beef and pork.
