It's Official, the Pacific is "Lost" - Do you still eat ocean products? (112)
lana1234Sydney, New South Wales Australia29 PostsJapanese still heavenly rely on the seafood of Pacific even after the tragedy at Fucushima reactor.Surely they would be first to alarm this issue,if it was that bad.

Actually - I have followed that mess since 311 and that "rule of thumb" does not apply. The gov has been lying and downplaying the severity of the meltdowns, so many people, as is par for the course in Japanese culture, made the incorrect assumption that what gov said was true and didn't pay much attention... until... their health began to fail in mysterious ways. The official stance by Gov was: Smile more, your fear is causing your illness. Wrong wrong wrong.
Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Bikini Atoll, Nevada Test sites and down winders, all tell us, scientifically, that low dose radiation is dangerous for your health. There've been some very large protests every week in Japan since people figured out they were being lied to.

“You do not need to be pregnant to care about what you eat. <-- there might be some Chernobyl radiation, still.

Verdad. Chernobyl is still an issue and I wish some scientific group would go check on the 17 nuc plants and waste Russia dumped in the arctic. How much is that contributing?

I don't do pig, myself. Did you know that the leaves and flowers of buckwheat are very high in protein?

Buckwheat

"....the highest crude protein amount of the buckwheat plant was determined
in leaves, 22.7%, and in blossoms, 19.1%. "
Beans are high in protein as well(we Mexicans eat them most every day) and the compost worms are even higher 77 % protein.
In between soy beans 44% protein.

I do not do pigs either!
whew, so glad to hear thatgalrads: Buckwheat

Cyn_Real: so do I... too fatty... seafood is still my favourite...no matter what...
Yup seafood! whether fishing diving, yet still can't handle trudging through the mudflats!
Yet there are such huge oysters there up north.
Oysers....

Radioactive food is also food.
If you don't taste it, you'll never know if it was good.
All we need a small portable radio activity meter,before we buy food products.

Yowzir.. I imagine it's worse now over Chernobyl due to entropy of the concrete they poured over it so many years ago... radiation has a nagging way of breaking things down... well, thanks for having taken your dosimeter - heard similar news about flights over Japan airspace and through areas where the jet stream flows... I'll be sure not to fly anywhere near Ukraine or in Japan's air if I can help it.
Glad you appreciate the thread...

I think it's a matter of people having tests video taped of products and then showing those videos publicly and encouraging people to not buy those products that register with levels above 'normal" background readings especially if they are high readings - it seems the only effective actions do not include trying to convince politicians/governments to take action - unless, of course, your politicians are friends and they "get" the point about low dose radiation being a bad thing over time.
Chernobyl's people have been experiencing not only leukemia, cancer and thyroid problems, but serious issues with cardiovascular systems - eating radiation destroys organs and cause heart attacks.
I wish the best of luck to all.

Obama's EPA Makes A Rad Decision
http;//www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2013/05/19/obamas-epa-makes-a-rad-decision/
)snip)The Obama Administration made a bold and correct scientific decision last month to allow risk-based decisions to guide responses to radiological events like a dirty bomb attack or a nuclear reactor accident. And not to treat it like a superfund site. This is very important because, in such events, the normal response can be worse than the event itself for many of those affected.
The Environmental Protection Agency and Gina McCarthy, President Obama’s nominee to head that agency, quickly came under attack for releasing draft guidelines last month that could significantly relax evacuation triggers, drinking water and cleanup standards, and decisions about who becomes a refugee, in the case of a radiological event in the United States. The draft is a revision of the Protective Action Guideline (PAG) that makes recommendations on how to respond to a large release of radioactive material into the environment.(snip)
