4. Call me crazy, but I don't find this statement comforting...

"A person would be exposed to low levels of radiation on a round-trip cross-country flight, watching television, and even from construction materials."

So we're supposed to be cool because other man-made shit zaps us with radiation that we otherwise wouldn't be exposed to? Fuck it, guess we might as well swallow it while we're at it. I'll have one glass of low-level radiation milk to go, please.
