Talk:Radura

message: Terms which denote a denomiation of a category take in good English (ie British English) always the singular! For example food or fruit.
For the reason that the terminology of 'food' contains any kind or type of food is is logic that there is only one food. Containing many kinds of food.
The usage of 'fruit' is slightly different: as long as it describes fruit as a synopsis of a class or category containing a vast number of members, it can again only take the singular. However, there is another use, more colloquial, when we refer to the 'fruits of our work and efforts'. An easy language test for the use of singular/plural is the insertion of 'many' into the sentence; compare:
:the many fruits of our work and efforts  >>  correct
:many fruits describes the synopsis ...   >>  false
Also, the United Fruit Company would never use the plural in the company name
::United (Fruit Company) or
::(United Fruits) Company
has definitely a different meaning.
For such reason, and after my school education in English, and in particular after having experienced the professional guidance of editors at IAEA, Vienna and WHO, Geneva I insist on using food in singular in our context.
Quite unfortunately someone had changed the verb following 'food' in the respective sentence to plural what escaped my attention and what does not make sense or requires the plural also for the substantive. Consequently I have converted both words to singular. Dieter E (talk) 18:06, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  grammar ? 

message: This talk here (and the corresponding article) is exclusively on the RADURA-logo including the perception of this logo. There is no known scientific study on the perception of this logo by the general public. The only relevant point here in this article is that opponents and consumer groups have voiced concerns that this logo might be 'too positive'. And this is what I had already introduced into this article. It would now be time that all other discussion is transferred to the main article and its talk-page. There would also be ample opportunity to discuss that no science is available, but 'communicated perception' is another kind of facts. Dieter E (talk) 11:48, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Discuss perception of food irradiation within the appropriate article! 

message: The word 'supposedly' had been introduced in this sentence:
Proponents of food irradiation have been frustrated by proposals to use international warning symbols for radiation hazard or bio-hazard since irradiated food supposedly does not pose any radiological or biological hazards.
:ref: J.F. Diehl, Safety of Irradiated Foods, MarcellDekker, New York, 1995
However, the reference for this sentence by Diehl does not support such statement.  Dieter E (talk) 17:36, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Perception of the RADURA 

message: A brand symbol has some owner, for example a company.
The RADURA is not owned by anybody!
As described in the RADURA article, it was invented and introduced to the market place by a (former) company in the Netherlands and used as a sign of superior quality of their products. Later on, it was freely released to the international community, it is now part of the Codex Alimentarius standard on labelling and also used (sometimes in differing designs) in regulations of many countries. -- Dieter E (talk) 12:57, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
