Don’t eat bananas then. The average for bananas is about 100 Bq/kg (not activity from Fukushima), so this beef is about 17 times less in terms of specific activity. By that standard bananas must be 17 times more dangerous than the beef from Fukushima.

No no no no....not bananas again! I am tired of explaining bananas to people. Look it up on WIkipedia and read up on the differences between radiation given off by bananas and radiation given off by cesium. HINT: It’s not the over active imagination of the public at work trying to avoid cesium. The Department of Transportation maintains the regulations pertaining to the handling of dangerous substances like radioactive cesium and no, they didn’t just overlook banana trucks. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.
