Eat and support the recovery of Fukushima - Food fair held at TEPCO Headquarters
東京電力本店で福島県の食材を販売する「福島復興バザール」が、今月１１日に開催された。福島県産のトマトやサクランボ、日本酒、喜多方ラーメンなどが売り場に並び、行列ができるほどの盛況ぶりだった。社員食堂でも福島スペシャルメニュー「食べる豚汁」が同日限定で販売され、好評を博した。食材販売にあたった社員は、「福島県産の食材を食べることで、復興の一助になればと思う。色々な活動を通して復興を支援していきたい」と話していた。
"Fukushima Recovery Bazaar" to sell foodstuff from Fukushima Prefecture was held on June 11 at TEPCO Headquarters in Tokyo. Made-in-Fukushima tomatoes, cherries, sake, Kitakata ramen noodles were displayed, and people formed long lines to buy them. At the company cafeteria, "soup with pork" was the very popular day's special. A TEPCO employee in charge of selling the foodstuff said, "We hope eating foodstuff made in Fukushima Prefecture will help the recovery of Fukushima. We will continue to support the recovery through various activities."

Typical Japanese level; FEED ME !!! "Let's eat to recovery" can only work in Japan.
It adds up to the myth that the Japanese have a more special brain...
Have you read this report, Crisis in Fukushima by Art Keller?

I wouldn't eat that food unless I thought that I'd get superpowers from all the radiation.
This event was several days after TEPCO held a meeting with Fukushima residents over compensation. In the meeting, one farmer stood up and said he knows how contaminated his crops is, because he has them measured. Even if it is below the safety standard of 100 Bq/kg, he said he doesn't eat them, he doesn't let his children eat them. But he grows them and sell them, and if the sale price is below the market price before the accident, he gets compensation. He hates it. He asked TEPCO officials and people in the meeting, "Is that what you want? Is that what we want?"
No labeling to help me know if it from radiated or clean parts of Fukushima, so a big and hearty No Thank You. Not until I see outside agencies slapping on labels with standard measurements. Even then, I would wait awhile.
And more realistically, Where is that farmer's contaminated going that even he won't let his family eat? How many years is he going to keep up this soul destroying charade? Poisoning his own countrymen? And will his children be encouraged to take on the farm as the next generation? Isn't it time he and others like him started thinking outside the box of their previous lives and get going to start farming somewhere else in Japan, far from this contamination? Oh, and keep pushing so the next place you live isn't blown away by yet another nuclear disaster. Support sustainable energy and farming, not what is going on now.
He hates it. Good. Do something. TEPCO doesn't know what it wants. They are the last people/corporation anyone should look to for answers.
Keep all children and pregnant women away from the contaminated food from the Fuksuhima Prefecture or else there will be a spike in cancer cases in a few years' time.
Interesting... so Tepco has only to pay the difference in price, as opposed to having to buy the contaminated farms once and for all. The rest of the bill is footed by whoever eats the rice. I guess this kind of liability is easier to handle for Tepco because it is spread over a longer period.
