Interesting Dilemma: Global farming in a post nuclear accident era.
How, exactly, are we suppose to trust our food source when we have so many factors out there that are out of control?

(1) We have the Republicans and corporate interests which won't stop in their attempt to deregulate the FDA and the EPA.

(2) We have NAFTA agreements with countries that are probably closer to the fallout than we are, and we still have to accept the produce. Especially when it's grown by our own corporations.

Has anyone heard of an emergency plan that was anticipated in case a nuclear plant goes globally wrong?

1. No, but it makes me glad I have a big garden planned for this year!
You are right. Truly scary!

2. I think what we have is a lack of confidence in leadership.
It isn't a matter of liking or not liking Obama. It's wondering if he has the fortitude to stand up to the reckless forces that keep putting us in danger's way.
