Letters to the Editor: Food and Food-Related Issues

From 1984 through 2003, I wrote a series of Letters to the Editor on Food and Food-Related Issues with follow-on articles and radio/TV interviews that attracted national and international attention. Topics included biotechnology, famine relief, energy, health & safety and population growth. Consequential interactions with President Mary Robinson and two Prime Ministers, Taoiseach Garret Fitzgerald and Taoiseach C J Haughey are also featured. Where the discussion facilitated a range of views on a particular topic, I have included responses to my letters. Examples include Hormones in Beef, Energy from Biomass, Famine and Food Surpluses and Food Irradiation. " ... most refreshing and enterprising. A great contribution to agriculture, farm interests, agri-business, EPA, and may I say, historians. I applaud your blitzkrieg and enthusiasm." Nicholas Furlong, author.
