The problem with irradiating produce is that it destroys the nutrients in the produce. It also renders it non-living. Sure, it still looks the same, and that is the point they try to push in order to make this irradiation bs fly. But what is the point of eating fruits and veggies that are dead and devoid of nutrients? It would lead to mass malnutrition and many health problems over time (for those of us who actually do eat healthy and do not suffer from such health issues). Those who are susceptible to food borne illness (many of which actually come from factory farming of animals, not the produce itself), already have compromised immune systems, likely also due to lack of nutrition in the first place.
