Did some reading on:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_irradiation

Wow... Automobile parts, wires, cables, tires and gemstones are
irradiated.
(Irradiated gemstones for different colour.)

"US FDA has cleared...treatment of hamburger patties ..contam...by E
coli"
Neato... At the right place, you can get 'nuked' and nuclear burgers (
gamma irradiated and microwave reheated). :P

"NASA is authorized to sterilize frozen meat for astronauts at doses
of 44 kGy as a notable exception"
A way to keep the astronauts from getting food sick. Barfing in zero
must be a mess. :P

I left a green apple in the car for about 6 weeks.. It's still green!
(I keep dodging it.)
Irradiated?

Which gives me a marketing idea to help sales of green apples :P

Call'm Hulk Apples!
Irradiated with gamma radiation.
(Maybe funnier if you know there's a Hulk movie now in theatres.)
