I just read this objection to sterilizing food using radiations:
Bacteria are living cells. How can they be lethally affected - killed - and the cells of the food on which the bacteria may be living remain unaffected? Logically, we must assume all living cells are affected by high energy radiation. But what are those affects? And are any of the affects dangerous to human health?
I hope that slab of meat is already dead when they pass it through the machine...
Sigh...
