Japanese baby milk recalled over radiation scare, Euronews, Dec. 7, 2011:
Hundreds of thousands of tins of powdered baby milk are being recalled in Japan after traces of radioactive caesium from the Fukushima nuclear plant were detected. [...]
In the streets of Tokyo people voiced their concerns. One woman said: “It’s hard to know what to believe. We thought some home products were safe, and I was avoiding products from north-east Japan, but I never thought milk would be affected.” [...]

Statements on Fukushima in the March 13 New York Times by Dr. David J. Brenner, director of the Center for Radiological Research at Columbia University:
- “At least as of now, what we’re looking at is rather more like Three Mile Island than Chernobyl”
- He said 98 percent of people’s exposure comes from milk and other dairy products
- “The way to prevent it is just to stop people from drinking the milk”

“I never thought milk would be affected”. Perhaps she never thought at all.
If she typifies the whole human herd, it’s all over.
Report Comment
Good point… Most Japanese people that I know here don’t ever think about it when they buy meat, milk, butter, sea weed, rice etc… Now that this woman knows milk can be effected, will she also infer that butter could be effected too? I seriously doubt that she has the mind capacity to connect the dots, and unfortunately she typifies 60% of the Japanese population if not much more.

Indeed. And when can we buy food from the supermarkets that are labeled Radiation free? hang on a tic, If I was in America that would be the marketing ploy of the decade. Scratch that.

If the amount of cesium is “well below government safety limits” then why recall it?
If it’s actually below safety limits, it’s probably the only food item in Tokyo that still is…

According to the ‘experts’ there is apparently never an amount of radioactive contamination in food, water, air, or soil, which ever exceeds the constantly asserted, “Just a little bit, won’t hurt anyone, less than an airplane ride”. Meanwhile 3 Godzillas spew radioactive fire all over Japan.

Fascinating is a word I use for the unexpected. “Interesting” shall suffice here.
