In China, there is alarm over the nuclear plant’s water but its seafood ban isn’t rooted in science.

    I live in Japan. I walked around with a Geiger counter and detected hotspots when reactor 4 exploded. I have seen the effects, the thyroid cancers, the total abandonment of Fukushima and I think this downplay of the dangers is irresponsible and propagandistic.

      Any of you downvoters want to visit? Come and do the Obama drinks flint water to prove how hardcore you believe in this?

      Naw. Of course not. It won’t affect you personally. So easy to dismiss other peoples actual suffering and concern isn’t it. Hope all of your children live forever.

        Dude, I live here, too. I was here when the earthquake happened. I wasn’t in Fukushima, no, but was here in Japan through all the panics, the flyjin, the electricity conservations, grocery shopping where food displayed radiation testing, all of that. You’re being a smidge hyperbolic here.

        I would come there but I likely would be exposed to more radiation on the flight over than what I would find on the ground.
