Sky-High Radiation Found in Fukushima Fish

18. Perspective...

mother earth,

You need to have perspective. You are getting radioactive cesium in your meal REGARDLESS of Fukushima and / or other nuclear power plants.

A decade and a half of atmospheric nuclear weapons testing by the USA and the Soviet Union put orders of magnitude more Cesium-137 into the environment than Fukushima ever could.

So you don't have the option of having food that is 100% free of Cesium-137; that ship has sailed long ago.

Is this Cesium-137 doing much damage. Again, in contrast to what Mother Nature herself is doing, this Cesium from weapons testing is THOUSANDS of times less damaging than what Mother Nature is doing to you already with natural radioactivity.

From the Health Physics Society Chapter at the University of Michigan:

http://www.umich.edu/~radinfo/introduction/radrus.htm

which lists the contribution to the average person's radiation exposure due to both nuclear power ( "nuclear fuel cycle" ) and weapons test ( "fallout&quot ; and both are <0.03% of our background radiation exposure.

Even the ancient Egyptians were eating slightly radioactive food; courtesy of Mother Nature, which is why we can do "Carbon-14 dating" on them to find out their age.

So you can say that we are continually killing the planet; but Mother Nature started killing the planet long before we did, and we have only increased on what Mother Nature is already doing by a negligible amount.

If you want a life free of all radioactivity; you've come to the wrong Universe.
