I was amazed at how we actually act and understand things the same way. She's of a sceptical kind, although tough and not paranoid. She's Japanese.<br />The way you deal with food would be very close to our's.<br />We only relax and just eat whatever we want to when we're home in Europe. As we used to do in Japan before Fuku.<br />I asked her the same question you do in your last paragraph. She answered me : but these people are living on local contaminated food, every day of the week. That was soon after the disaster.<br />The problem is nothing has changed in almost two years.<br />Some people bash down products from Tohoku and North Kanto, some promote them.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And no, there's no place for newcomers in JA. It's all filled up. No place left, and no market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-14203097165337338072013-01-30T08:12:15.541-08:002013-01-30T08:12:15.541-08:00According to Asahi (AJW 28 Jan 2013) on March 15th...According to Asahi (AJW 28 Jan 2013) on March 15th 2011 US authorities ordered the evacuation of women and children at the Yokosuka naval base, following the detection of a peak of fallout from Fuku 1; Yokosuka is located **300km** from Fuku 1.<br /><br />At the same time Edano was repeating on TV that there was no immediate danger for health.<br /><br />Now, the Japanese voters, in a clear display of long term memory disorder, put mr. Abe and its LDP again at the helm of this country, the very people who are responsible for Japan nuclear policy, who want to restart the npps and further sink the nation into debt.<br /><br />How could this happen?<br /><br />Beppe<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-37819652083655168612013-01-30T07:24:02.995-08:002013-01-30T07:24:02.995-08:00Paralysis through politeness will end the Japanese...Paralysis through politeness will end the Japanese people.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-45292003943995920972013-01-30T06:23:47.240-08:002013-01-30T06:23:47.240-08:00>Why not use the areas for growing industrial r...>Why not use the areas for growing industrial rice?<br /><br />"Industrial rice" is how the Japanese get rid of cheap foreign rice that they are forced to import in the name of "open markets". The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry mostly buys foreign rice that is contaminated with pesticides and is therefor unfit for human consumption (radiation is fine). This protects the domestic rice producers from foreign competition in the consumer market. This rice is used to make glue, coat paper and make activated charcoal among other things. Industrial rice isn't going to pay the farmers enough to bother with planting. But the farmer's have an ace up their sleeve most Japanese have been conditioned to consider Japanese products superior so many will buy the domestic rice regardless of how contaminated it is as long as the government says its safe. Every bag will get a cursory glance if alarms happen to go off they'll just blend it down with rice from other clean regions until it passes "inspection". I wouldn't be surprised if they tested the empty bags before they filled them and used that number as the contamination level. If I was a farmer I won't even try unless the government guaranteed to buy my produce at full price contaminated or not. <br /><br />http://janneinosaka.blogspot.com/2008/09/tainted-rice-more-food-scandals.html Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-66377970010159327132013-01-30T05:45:57.813-08:002013-01-30T05:45:57.813-08:00Confused.

Send it to Jusco." <br /><br /><br />Anyway, I only buy food from outside of Fukushima. Never buy food labeled "from Japan". Never buy cheap food, especially mushrooms, so labeled.<br /><br /><br />I still have enough rice left that was bought before 3/11 to last for five years, as I am not a major rice consumer anyway.<br /><br /><br />These are my daily considerations in this new era of woefully irresponsible politicians and government who do NOTHING to protect the consumers. <br /><br />What the hell are those farmers in heavily contaminated areas thinking when they mechanically plant the damned rice in contaminated fields again? Can't they see? Can't they think outside of the box/tanbo that existed before 3/11 but sure as hell does not exist NOW and forever in the future? Shouldn't they be suing the heck out of TEPCO before leaving to plant rice in other parts of Japan? The countryside sure needs new blood. Go there and raise untainted rice and prosper.Darth 3/11noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-23150158920353865842013-01-30T05:22:19.073-08:002013-01-30T05:22:19.073-08:00While Daiichi leaks radiation what makes gvt, univ...While Daiichi leaks radiation what makes gvt, univ "experts" think just Fukushima rice should be tested.
