I remember when I was a kid in the 50's and there were above ground Nuke tests in the US? and Russia?, maybe, there was some concern about the safety the milk we were drinking, due to radiatioactive particles being carried in the atmosphere and then setlling in the US where cows ate grass crops that those particles settled on.

Other than the obvious geopolitical concerns if India and Pakistan start lobbing a few nukes at each other, do any FReepers have an idea of the possible radioactive fallout effects on US citizens, livestock, food crops, etc?

I'm not sure, but I think its pretty safe to say, thinking weather wise and stuff. Its can't be good for americans. I'd bet that you'd probably see a cancer boom in california and along the west coast.
