Everyone has a point. Regardless of the reasons for causing the beef contamination, I felt that there are still a lot of things the Diet is not telling. I may be wrong but there may be a chance that there are other food contamination not detected but is distributed without anyone knowing. I said so because there are lack of equipments to do all the checkings especially when the officials are already very busy with checking vegetables.

I am not specialise in nuclear physics but I know that there are more than just iodine-131 & cesium escaped from Fukushima Power Plant since March 12th when the first explosion occurred. Plutonium & other alpha emitter isotopes, why were they not being monitored? It is true that Plutonium is heavy in chemical term and therefore does not "float" easily into the air current or sea current like iodine or cesium does. But hey, plutonium is dangerous. I was quite shock to know that a Japanese scientist said in news tv that plutonium is not harmful to human body if accidentally consumed. Plutonium-causing cancers do not develop until 20 years later. And shockingly there is even a safe limit for plutonium in food.

I understand that the geographical location of Kansai is far away from Tohoku but when it comes to food distribution. Even prefecture as far as Shizuoka is affected with its famous green tea.

Aw... I really wish this is all a bad dream.
