What does that prove about irradiating in the space station? Have you seen the regulations and equipment that go into it? I really don’t even know what you think that’s proving in this exchange.

If it was simple and trivial, why are they not doing it on the space station? Because it’s not simple… it’s not easy… and it’s just not feasible….

The link shows you that it can be done on any food, and that the only reason why it hasn't be accepted by the public is because of fear about the word.

To your additional objections, do a an image search of the machines and you'll see that the non-miniaturized versions that are made for industrial scale mass production products are like 4x4x2 feet for the actual functional machine part of it

But hey, believe whatever you wanna believe

It can be done on any food, but look at NASAs list for what is acceptable…. Different agencies are involved with different standards.

Just because it’s easy on earth doesn’t correlate to space… this exchange even started in a post of a an article about this exact thing….

You are right people are dumb yeesh.

Edit, read your own links….

At present, human spaceflight is confined to low Earth orbit but, in future, will again go to the Moon and, beyond, to Mars. The provision of food during these extended missions will need to meet the special nutritional and psychosocial needs of the crew. Terrestrially grown and processed food products, currently provided for consumption by astronauts/cosmonauts, have not yet been systematically optimised to maintain their nutritional integrity and reach the shelf-life necessary for extended space voyages. Notably, space food provisions for Mars exploration will be subject to extended exposure to galactic cosmic radiation and solar particle events, the impact of which is not fully understood. In this review, we provide a summary of the existing knowledge about current space food products, the impact of radiation and storage on food composition, the identification of radiolytic biomarkers and identify gaps in our knowledge that are specific in relation to the effect of the cosmic radiation on food in space.

That quote doesn't say what you seem to think it says. Anyway, I'm done with this fruitless conversation now. See ya around

It shows the challenges and the unknowns of doing it in space….

It’s to show you it’s not as simple as you are making it out to be…. But of course you’re not going to comprehend that as you’ve already established how stupid some people are.
