How screwy it is for US agricultural officials to think that irradiating mangoes is any better than the use of pesticides! They're both just messed up! I love mangoes. But I refuse to buy anything that has been irradiated. My joy turned to grief pretty quick on this little tidbit of news! http://news./s/ap/20060302/ap_on_re_as/unchivalrous_bush Besides nuclear diplomacy, Bush also succeeded at mango diplomacy. The sweet, juicy staple of Indian chutneys and dessert tables was a feature of the joint agreement between the two countries. Bush said the United States would reopen its market to Indian mangoes, banned 17 years ago over concerns about pesticide use. "The United States is looking forward to eating Indian mangoes," Bush

said as both leaders stood side-by-side before the media in a garden at Hyderabad House. Now, Indian farmers will instead irradiate the fruit to kill any pests, making them fit for consumption in the eyes of U.S. agricultural officials. The fruit should again be available in U.S. markets in about 18 months. Bush followed through on his promise perhaps sooner than he thought. On the lunch menu were fresh mangoes, served with creme brulee.

Relax. virus scanning helps detect nasty viruses!
