Answers:
I ask the same question!.

It's just pure ignorance really!. Just mentioning the word "radiation" sends the greenbots and marginally literate running for cover!. They fear what they don't understand!. Unfortunately, there's a helluva lot that the average folk on the street don't understand!. Too many Americans are woefully ignorant of anything other than silly-assed sitcoms and their favorite sports teams, and who's in the final rounds of American Idol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
