Irradiated meat poultry and fruits marked with a symbol are you more or less likely to purchase and why?

Had I ever seen such a symbol, I would not hesitate to purchase a food product marked with it. I think it's a good practice in the overall scheme of things, and don't know why it is feared so much. I will tell you though, if the price tag reflects a higher price for equal quality products available, I will steer clear. I am not in any NEED of irradiated food, since I don't purchase more than I can consume in any foods' expected shelf life. And, for better or worse, I feel reliant on modern commercial food preparation, government regulations, and, most importantly, on my own cooking ability, to ume I won't be getting bacterial poisoning such as salmonella, botulism, or e-coli (even though such contaminations do occur rarely).
