A device to do this has been made, and was published a few years back,

There are lots of commercial food irradiation systems, and some are in
regular use. There are obvious public health benefits, especially in
developing countries, and massive political problems.

I belive a seach of New Scientest will find the article for you, but
it was a while ago, so it may be a different magazine.

I call it New Shrieker Magazine. What twaddle... a 'scientific'
version of Mother Jones. If you deleted the anti-US propaganda and the
stupid collages and the whitespace and the dinosaur stuff, there
wouldn't be anything left but ads. It's rare to find an issue that
doesn't mention George Bush half a dozen times.

When my renewal notice arrived, I wrote pretty much the above across
it and sent it back. The damned thing just keeps coming!

Sounds like the AARP stuff. It just keeps coming and coming and
coming. On the last batch that I sent back I said, "If it doesn't
stop, I will file a USPS Form 1500 (unwanted sexually oriented
advertising) against AARP".

And I will, too. That's how I permanently got off of Fingerhut's
mailing list ;-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
