YES! A crate of radioactive seeds washed up on the beach and
the castaways grew vegetables. Gilligan ate spinach and got really
strong, Mary Ann ate carrots and got terrific vision...
Seriously, the carbon 14 in a cryonaut's food is probably irrelevant.
The actual meat is not going to live again. Surely, post singularity,
we would simply send nanobots into the frozen brain, map the
dendrites, create a sim based on that map, and the result would
be an uploaded holodeck-like existence.
Some people buy "organic" foods, eating wormy undersized produce,
under the belief that "artificial" pesticides and fertilizers are somehow
inferior to the the natural kind. So growing carbon-14 free produce
might be an exceptable strategy if one's only goal is to make money.
