Arrgh! Noooo! No more irradiated beef in my area!!!!!

Story in my local paper

states:

"Wegmans has notified customers that it no longer will sell irradiated beef, because its provider has gone belly-up.

SureBeam Corp. filed for bankruptcy last month. The San Diego-based company has ceased operations. "

Crap!

Now I'll have to just get regular microbe-infested ground beef and cook it to (literal) death!

It appears the FUD machine has hurt another company.

I dunno, the idea of irradiated beef scares me.

it is a sad thing when technology that can improve public health gets the FUD attack

FUD

FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) is the term for any strategy intended to make a company's customers insecure about future product plans with the purpose of discouraging them from adopting competitors' products. For example, "You can try using X instead of our product, but you may lose all your data."

I had a friend who did not want to eat irradiated meat until I explained to him that he irradiates his food all the time, in the microwave.
