We don't use it because it's reputation has been tarnished by misinformation. No, your food won't glow, it won't contaminate you with radioactive waste. It just irks me that uneducated people get a hold of crap info and spread it around. Irradiation would solve a lot of this. It would have prevented the peanut butter thing, the serrano pepper thing, the spinach thing, the green onion thing -- seeing a pattern?
