Fukushima And The Radioactive Tuna....

When Fukushima first happened they banned fishing within 12 miles of the power plant. Said everything else would be fine. 

Later they announced radioactive water was leaking into the Pacific Ocean BUT the Pacific Ocean is really, really big. So don’t even worry about it. It is nothing.

Now it is 2014 and they are announcing fish they caught off Oregon in 2008 – 2012 had detectable levels of Radiation. But it was very small. Nothing you need to worry about. Feed it to your kids. It is fine.

They also mention the fish caught in 2012 had TRIPLE the levels of radiation compared to the fish caught a year earlier. Again it is all completely fine. You just mind your business.

Well if the level of radiation tripled in 2012…… what does that mean for the fish being caught today in 2014? The radioactive water has been pouring into the ocean every day for 3 years now. So it is reasonable to think that if it tripled in 2012…..by 2014 it will be a lot higher still.

But they are always quick to say it is nothing. You really don’t need to worry. You would have to eat 700,000 pounds for it to have any effect. Really…..

Then they throw in…..

"You can’t say there is absolutely zero risk because any radiation is assumed to carry at least some small risk," Why can’t they? If I need to eat 700,000 pounds..... and I don’t eat 700,000 pounds then I should be completely safe. Yet they won’t say that. Wonder why?
