Reply #5: Food has ALWAYS been radioactive.

[PamW]

Kris ignores the fact that food has always been radioactive.

Many remember their science lesson from grade school about "Carbon-14 Dating".

Food has always been mildly radioactive courtesy of Mother Nature. The ancient
Egyptians were eating radioactive food and by measuring what is left of the
radioactivity, we know the age of the ancient Egyptians.

Yes - it is unfortunate that a power plant accident put more radioactivity into
the environment.

However, the extra radioactivity PALES in comparison to what Mother Nature
has already put in the environment. Try to keep some perspective.
