Irradiating food? You've got to be kidding me. That would just kill anything nutritious in it. If you enjoy eating dead food then be my guest. Our food is already crap in this country, might as well add some spent plutonium to the mix. Honestly.
How about we actually enforce inspection laws on production plants, something that is currently lacking? The industrial food industry makes shortcuts galore and abuses antibiotics, and when the public gets sick from superbugs the government AND food industry acts like the reasons are isolated.
The problems are systemic. Profits take the priority to human health.
Irradiating food ≠ adding plutonium to food.
There is a natural level of radiation around you.
Hell it's already been pointed out that the radiation used is less than the amount given off by the sun, that you absorb every day.
Irradiation is used to cover the shortfalls of inspection, because humans are prone to make errors.
