I recently saw the new movie American Hustle<\/a>, which is loosely based on an infamous 1970s FBI sting operation<\/a> that ensnared members of the U.S. Congress. There are more than a few very funny moments of highbrow farce in the film, such as when one of the characters (played by Christian Bale) receives a microwave oven as a gift from a politician and brings it home to his wife on Long Island.<\/p>\n

https://dentalprovidence.com/veneers/ He calls it a “science oven” (the first countertop microwave ovens were introduced in the late 1960s). At the time, this was a relatively new consumer-oriented technology that inspired awe and trepidation. This is the scene <\/a>in the movie\u00a0where the wife accidentally blows up the microwave.<\/p>\n

She is unapologetic, telling her husband that she read in a magazine that microwave ovens take all the nutrition out of food. She then names the author of the article–Paul Brodeur, who was a crusading\u00a0New Yorker<\/em> writer<\/a>\u00a0from the \u00a01960s until the early 1990s. The article she is probably referring to is this one<\/a>, which would lead to a book<\/a>\u00a0by Brodeur called, The Zapping of America: Microwaves, Their Deadly Risk, and the Cover-Up.<\/p>\n

I wrote about Brodeur’s role in the amplification of these unwarranted fears in this post<\/a>. I find it interesting that the maker of American Hustle–a movie in part about noble intentions gone amok–explicitly refers to Brodeur in the “science oven” scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
