Radiation Traces Found in U.S. Milk

The U.S. government said Wednesday that traces of radiation have been found in milk in Washington state, but said the amounts are far too low to trigger any public-health concern.

The Environmental Protection Agency said a March 25 sample of milk produced in the Spokane, Wash., area contained a 0.8 pico curies per literlevel of iodine-131, which it said was less than one five-thousandth of the safety safety guideline set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The EPA said it increased monitoring after radiation leaked from Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. It expects more such findings in coming days, but in amounts "far below levels of public-health concern, including for infants and children."

And the closer you get to Hanford, the more legs the cows have.

Government is going to have to go to everyone’s home and land and “inspect it” for contamination. But don’t worry, they wont be looking for anything or reporting anything but the level of radiation found /s

WAIT! I detected radiation in my catz. And in the pig, who is bootleg (don't tell the city). And LOTS of radiation from the 3-ruble silver piece from the former CCCP.

I won't carry the 3-rouble piece in my pocket. The catz are allowed to sit in my lap, and unless Charolette shows up and writes a note in cobwebs, Wilbur is bacon as soon as he hits 120 lbs.

I can imagine the riots in Seatle when the common man cant get 1% or skim without Japanese radioactivity in it.

1% or skim

Gah! THAT is a crime against nature. May as well drink whey.

I tasted it, no, really. For some reason, it adds the extra ummph to a glass of milk, I tell ya!

LOL. I can just imagine some metrosexual in Seattle whining because he can't get his "half soy, half skinny cinnamon latte".

Like they haven’t already?

I would actually welcome it.

They could see first-hand how hard-working people are sliding into the abyss.

Instead of just a stat on a pie-chart.

Your living in the Book of Revelaton.

How exciting is that?

You’re raising a pig in the city! Good, I’m proud of you.

[FourPeas]

What was the reading BEFORE the reactor events?

[JRandomFreeper]

Ummm. It's not a pig. It's a very, very ugly dog. Hit by a car when he was young. And an eating disorder.
