Radiation in Our Food, Fox News by Chris Kilham, June 29, 2011:
[...] Milk, fruits and vegetables show trace amounts of radioactive isotopes from the Fukushima Daichi power plants, and the media appears to be paying scant attention, if any attention at all. It is as if the problem only involves Japan [...]
Radiation tests conducted since the nuclear disaster in Japan have detected radioactive iodine and cesium in milk and vegetables produced in California. [...] Milk sold in Arizona, Arkansas, Hawaii, Vermont and Washington has also tested positive for radiation since the accident.
Additionally, drinking water tested in some U.S. municipalities also shows radioactive contamination. Is the fallout from Fukushima Daichi falling on us? Yes, it is.
Thanks to the jet stream air currents that flow across the Pacific Ocean, the U.S. is receiving a steady flow of radiation from Fukushima Daichi. [...]

As the radioactive material from Fukushima nuclear power plant continues to flow into the sea, marine life will be threatened; as Becker SM said: the situation in Japan reminds us that the radiation emergency is international[1]. Till now we do not know much about the impact of radiation on the water, the higher the concentration of radioactive material, the greater the potential harm. While the radioactive waste continues to release, it will pose greater threats to marine life. After all, Fukushima is not Chernobyl, we cannot build a concrete shell to enclose the whole region of the coastline.
Radiation is always there, and all life on land and sea is exposed to …

According to the U.S.-based group of medical doctors Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR), no amount of man-made radiation in water and food is safe. “There is no safe level of radionuclide exposure, whether from food, water or other sources, period,” said Jeff Patterson, DO, immediate past president of PSR, in late March. “Exposure to radionuclides, such as iodine 131 and cesium 137, increases the incidence of cancer. For this reason, every effort must be taken to minimize the radionuclide content in food and water.”
Doctor Alan Lockwood MD echoes this. “Consuming food containing radionuclides is particularly dangerous. If an individual ingests or inhales a radioactive particle, it continues to irradiate the body as long as it remains radioactive and stays in the body.”
“Children are much more susceptible to the effects of radiation and stand a much greater chance of developing cancer than adults,” states Andrew Kanter, MD, president of PSR’s board. “So it is particularly dangerous when they consume radioactive food or water.”
Should you panic about this? No. That will do no good. But you can call, write and email your congressperson, your senator, and any other elected officials in your district, ask them to push for testing of foods and water in your area, and tell them to take the threat of global nuclear fallout seriously. For while none of the 104 nuclear power plants in the U.S. are melting down at present, we have had our own nuclear accidents. Remember Three Mile Island? Radiation has made its way to the American dinner table. This is a time to speak out, and to put pressure on policy makers. Clearly, it’s far better to be politically active now than radioactive tomorrow.
I don’t know how much more clearer it can be stated…

i wanted to return them stating that i did not trust the japanese government.

i was told by wholefoods store head office that they do 0 testing it is done by clearspring.
i contacted clearspring they said we do no testing but we source are produce from the safe parts of japan : )
and also if we had a problem the uk government would not allow us to sell bad products..
this is from 2 companies that sell a lot of organic stuff.

Ft. Calhoun NOT evacuate. There was a video making the rounds from the ABC station in Lincoln NE that claimed
a 10 mile zone Ft. Calhoun had been evacuated. It certainly sounded legit, they even had a sound bite from the
head of the NRC stating it was. When no other media outlet or witnesses confirmed the story I emailed KLKN TV.
Below is the response:
Hi Nancy,
To answer your question, there is no evacuation in the Fort Calhoun nuclear plant area. The information was incorrect
and we corrected it on our news yesterday, (June 28th). The 10-mile evacuation has not taken place, it is only a plan
by the NRC should conditions become critical at the plant.

MSM is reporting what we know. it makes no difference at all. there is no need to panic just because they are reporting the obvious, it just goes to show you that they can’t hide it, but they knew it all along. i don’t understand how so many of you (including myself) are critical of MSM like fox news, cnn, etc. yet when something like this pops up most of you act like it is new, and say stuff like ‘omg, god help us, this isn’t good, etc.’ that makes you sound just as bad as the sleeping sheep. we know this already, we knew it from the beginning, so quit fooling yourselves into thinking that this report makes it any worse. even if the masses know about this, they still aren’t going to do anything about it.

As soon as I determine how to measure food radiation, I’ll order the detector, and after it arrives I’ll be paying a lot of attention to radiation in food, and reporting the bad news regularly.

I might be wrong, but if I’m right there is now going to be an attempt to make us all DEPENDENT on official sources ( i.e. government, MSM ) for TRUTH about radiation in the environment.
