Zapped Cover Image Hey all you DC/Metro foodies and water warriors: We want to let you know about an exciting event tomorrow night in DC!

On Thursday, June 5, 2008, Food & Water Watch Executive Director Wenonah Hauter will be reading from and signing copies of her new book, Zapped! Irradiation and the Death of Food.

This is a groundbreaking book that reveals irradiation as a decades-long PR stunt by the food industry, aimed at increasing profits, not food safety. Ms. Hauter chronicles the rise of food irradiation in America and explains the science-and the politics-behind it.

The event will be held at Busboys & Poets, at 14th and V Streets NW (map), from 6:30 to 8:30 on Thursday the 5th. Please come join us for an evening of information, and learn how to fight back to keep your food safe.

Learn more about the book and Ms. Hauter and buy the book now.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
