I'll bet no one else around here owns a calibrated radiation survey meter!
I have posted this before, but it's worth repeating. A few months after the Fukushima meltdown, I took my survey meter to the grocery store. California veggies...fine. Fish display...fine. Canned tuna shelves....UH OH. I measured .05 rad/hour. That's over one rad/day.
Since the tuna was in cans, the alpha and beta particles would not be detected, IIRC. If I remember my particle physics, my meter must have been detecting gammas or neutrons.
If someone ingests the radioactive particles in the tuna, they will be irradiated from the inside by alphas, betas, etc.
From that moment on, I resolved that I will not eat seafood unless I KNOW that it came from the Gulf of Mexico. Preferably, I will only eat what I catch or see come off the boat.
Given the influence of extreme environazis in government and media who want to reduce human population, I would not be surprised if this danger is purposely being covered up.
Get off your fat ass, go down to the food coop and buy your non gmo food from someone you can trust. Don't expect another law to solve YOUR perceived problem,
Ok, now go get your thinking cap. Who is going to enforce this law, what bureaucrat is going to interpret the law? YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND BURAUCRACIES.
Now, even if we do this, it doesn't get you what you want. It is very difficult and expensive to prove something is non gmo. The path of least resistance is now to label EVERYTHING GMO because there is less liability doing that.
So now we have all food labeled GMO because . Your local food producer can't prove it is Non GMO, He cant take the risk either. SO YOU HAVE ACTUALLY ELIMINATED WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU WANTED.
I can tell you don't own or run a business! Conservatives on this site are just like the liberals, they don't want freedom and responsibility, they want the govt to take care of them.
There is a happy medium, whether you want to admit it or not, and I don't think it's too much to ask to make it a little bit easier to know what I'm putting in my body.
This isn't some dietary thing to gain mass or look good for the beach season; people could literally be poisoning themselves on this crap.
Get off your fat ass, go down to the food coop and buy what you want!
As I explained,your law won’t do anything to solve YOUR problem. IT will create more problems than it will solve.
My fat ass?
I did. You did not acknowledge or counter my points.
Your fat ass is right. Get off it and go buy what you want because you have freedom now to do so but you do not want to be responsible for yourself. Some people need offending and you are one, because you can't think your way out of a paper bag.
So, to ensure I understand, a label is an unbearable burden, ALL regulations are bad, all businesses (and, therefore, the people who run them) are good, and unless a person has ever owned or run a business, they can’t possibly have a good reason for wanting a change—however slight—to be made. Do I have that right?
I now understand that your generation has grown up with the govt solving every problem for you and your expecting that through out your life.
That you have the non gmo readily available to you NOW but think govt should solve your problem.
That is is all about you and you have NO understanding of others.
That you so eagerly quote the general welfare clause.
That a discussion of reducing govt brings up the word anarchy.
That you have no concept of freedom, choices and responsibility. Why are you here on a conservative site. What does conservatism mean to you? I TRUELY FEAR FOR OUR FUTURE Thank you for revealting this to me.
I’m surprised the New York Times isn’t all over this story. The MSM has a natural hatred of all things nuclear after all... Maybe dems haven’t had time to feed them the story - or it’s in conflict with a liberal’s idea of ‘healthy eating’...
People have been eating 'Wonder Bread' since the 1950's. It's perfectly safe - unlike Brown Rice that's filled with arsenic... (See Consumer Reports - November 2012 for a full listing of arsenic laden rice products - Carolina Whole Grain Brown Rice comes in at 6.4 to 8.7 micrograms of arsenic per serving.)
Run from the Carolina and Delta brown rice, Barbara's brown rice crisps, and Lundberg Sweet Dreams Eco-farmed Brown rice syrup... waaaay to much arsenic. And skip the grilled tuna. Enjoy spun white bread - it's good for you.
Actually I wasn’t talking about wonder. ANY bread, white or wheat will last indefinitely now with only a slight change in flavor and consistency.
I eat it. But I can’t see how it can be ‘good’ for me. EVERYTHING we have access to is a chem factory today. There is no way around it. Even seeds are GM so we can’t even grow our own unmolested food.
You’re NOT worried about arsenic in brown rice? Did you even read my post?
Yes I did. But heres the reality. Everything we eat is contaminated to some degree. And we either eat it or starve. I find it odd that you are worried about Brown Rice but not the chem factory that is Bread, which far more people eat daily, which your post called ‘good for you’.
Flouride is a highly toxic poison we drink in tap water. There are a million other poisons we ingest, none of which are good. But what choice do we really have?
I’m not belittling your point. But really, what choice do we have? All we can do is try the best we can to not eat things which are ‘more’ contaminated than the rest.
‘But FR isn’t the same site it used to be and facts don’t seem to matter anymore to a lot of posters here.’
That’s how we roll now, Mr Anti-Business
