Radioactive meat circulating on Japanese market
Edited on Tue Jul-12-11 02:17 PM by Generic Other
Tokyo (CNN) -- A Japanese health official downplayed the dangers Tuesday after cesium contaminated meat from six Fukushima cows was delivered to Japanese markets and probably ingested.

Goshi Hosono, state minister in charge of consumer affairs and food-safety, said he hoped to head off any overreactions.

"If we were to eat the meat everyday, then it would probably be dangerous," Hosono said at a news conference Tuesday. "But if it is consumed only in small portions, I don't think it would have any long-lasting effects on the human body."

In other words, if this is your LAST SUPPER, no problemo. Pass the steak sauce!

2. The picture should be Godzilla attacking Tokyo.
Little did they know in the 50s when they made the original picture.

Or maybe they DID know better than the later "leaders" who threw Japanese into reliance on nukes.

3. Holyshit Batman!
Eat a small amount so you die a little slower or have a half pound cheeseburger and clog those arteries with more then just cholesterol! I would probably avoid all food from that region if I could help it.
