Food after Fukushima

Since the Fukushima disaster, I've been monitoring radioactive contamination of food - especially focusing on how the authority would force polluted food on people. As you know, radioactive milk was dumped on developing countries after the Chernobyl disaster. Unhealthy food is dumped on the weak and the poor - business as usual.

My first thought after the Fukushima disaster was: Japanese government will try more strongly to force contaminated food on her people and the world poor, because she has quite many farm/livestock/fish producers inside the same country with consumers, and she wants to continue with nuclear power even after THAT disaster.

Here I collect some information which might be useful for you to see what's going on in Japan. It would be great if you could help Japanese people to ban the nuclear for the better future of their children and of the world.

This is what Japanese government say about food after Fukushima.

Food is going into the market (and people's stomach) when it has less than 500Bq/kg of Radioactive cesium.

The German Society for Radiation Protection recommends no more than 4 Bq/kg of Cesium 137 for children, and no more than 8 Bq/kg for adults.
