Preparation
Heat butter or tallow in a large skillet over medium-high. Add ground beef and garlic, breaking apart as it cooks. Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Cook 7–8 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Set aside.
Arrange lettuce in bowls or on a platter. Top evenly with seasoned beef, tomatoes, cheese, avocado, sour cream, and salsa.
Add jalapeños, cilantro, and crushed pork rinds if desired. Squeeze lime over before serving.
In this historical analysis, Edward J. Calabrese and Paul B. Selby argue that the widespread adoption of the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model for radiation risk was shaped less by solid scientific consensus than by flawed data, selective reporting, and institutional influence. Reexamining the 1956 NAS BEAR I Genetics Panel, the authors contend that mutation data were misrepresented, dissenting views were minimized, and panel expertise was overstated in order to advance the assumption that any radiation exposure carries cancer risk. They further trace how ideological currents—including ties to the eugenics movement and philanthropic influence—helped entrench LNT as regulatory doctrine. They conclude that modern radiation risk policy rests on a historically compromised foundation that warrants re-evaluation.
