Irradiated meat has been around for years, particularly ground beef that is a favorite hiding spot for E. coli. Spices also can be irradiated.

Yup. But the concern here is with the quality of the vegetable afterwards, because, obviously, the green leafy vegetable aren't as beefy (pun intended) as meat is, and the effects of irradiation may be more apparent on greens than on meat. Plus, meat that is irradiated is marked as such, with a special symbol, i dont think these mandates require marking because less radiation is used.

They've been irradiating my meat?

I'm severely disappointed at my lack of being the Incredible Hulk.

Although Popeye eats spinach.

And if you eat RADIOACTIVE spinach...

Does that make you like.... Hulkeye?

Little known but true fact: Popeye's squinty eye is acutally giant and green and possessed of superstrength. That's why he keeps it under lock and lid.

What's the point of an eye with super strength? Can he cause shockwaves by blinking really fast or something? Or is it bulletproof like that stupid scene in Superman?

When Popeye unleashes the HulkEye, it's a gruesome spectacle many might faint at the sight of.

...so much blood...

How do you get a food product FDA approval? How do you go about getting a food product FDA approval? I'm assuming that all commercially sold food items must have FDA approval before hitting the shelves. I'm having trouble figuring out where to start with this whole process. How much are the costs associated with this? Is the waiting period drawn out like the patent process is? Any answers or direction would be very helpful. Thank you!
