Yes, there is more acceptance for food irradiation lately, due to the 
many stories regarding the issues of food contamination recently, 
throughout the world. The issue is a positive for the benefits of 
safe use of radiation. However, don't be too surprised to find some 
anti-nuclear groups out there using the safe use of food irradiation, 
turning the use around focusing on the fact that the reason food 
irradiation works is because it "KILLS" organisms, playing on the 
general public's fear of radiation to begin with.
