Fears of food riots strike Japan after rice trading is halted due to a 40% price spike triggered by massive hoarding of the remaining radiation free rice supply.
It is time to start paying very close attention the events unfolding in Japan as the nation teeters on the verge of food riots which may serve as an example of what other nations in a similar situation would face.
As we approach the 5 month marker since the onset of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Japan has repeatedly assured the public that the nation’s food supply was safe from radiation. Japan has given those reassurances despite warnings from experts that the nuclear fallout has already surpassed 20 Hiroshima bombs with no end in site and experts say ‘off-scale’ levels of lethal radiation at Fukushima infer millions dying.
Time and again those assurances have proven to be false. Radiation has found in everything from soil and sewage to tea and beef. Even worse, a just released report revealed that Japan ran simulations back as far as 1984 which showed 18,000 deaths from acute radiation exposure and a 55 mile radius would be rendered permanently uninhabitable. All of these factors have entirely destroyed the public’s trust in their government.
In an attempt to regain the public’s trust, Japan just announced hours ago that they will no longer offer any assurances of the safety of the nation’s food supply.
NOTE: Potentially, there isn't any "safe" food in the Northern Hemisphere, we are all connected to the same radiation that continues to circle the globe dropping on the ocean, farm land, crops, fruit trees, rivers and lakes. The strength of the radiation does not drop, only the amount of radioactive particles are diminished by dispersion.
Since, I consider it impossible to completely avoid radiation, unless you live underground and eat food only grown from a green house, and eat animals only decontaminated, what is the solution? The only other solution is to keep your body, your food, your animals and your soil as healthy as possible. There are many ways to reduce the harmful effects.
