Gamma rays are high energy massless particles which travel at the speed of light because they are a form of electromagnetic radiation. In order to interact with them, ones relative velocity to the particle would have to be negligible. As science has progressed, though, we have managed to slow light photons down to a virtual creep. The same technology is conceivable for gamma rays.

You eat the gamma cookie, put the beta cookie in your pocket, and hold the alpha cookie in your hand. Here's why:Your skin will stop the alpha radiation, so it's safe to hold that cookie in your hand.Your clothes will stop the beta, so it's safe to put that in your pocket.And if you're going to have to eat one, you may as well eat the gamma cookie because gamma radiation is so penetrating that you'll get the same does whether you hold it in your hand, put it in your pocket or eat it.you've sort of missed the point with this one. your right in saying that the alpha wont penetrate the skin, the beta your clothes, and the gamma will penetrate basically everything but its less that you you'd rather eat the gamma cookie because you will get dosed no matter what and more that you do not want to eat the alpha cookie. you see the same reason alpha particles dont penetrate the skin is the same reason they're extremely detrimental when ingested - far more so than gamma. its called specific ionization specific-ionization.
