Also, the green glow isn’t from radioactive decay, it’s the uranium fluorescing under the UV light stationed just out of frame.

Yeah the light is probably more harmful than the glassware lol

Most of the produce you buy in grocery stores have been irradiated with UV to kill harmful bacteria, and it does not have any harmful effects. I suppose if they leave the UV light on and eat dinner under it for an extended period of time then they might get a sunburn.
