This nuclear disaster requires an international effort to resolve. Japan is committing financial and economic suicide but not involving other nations. If Fukushima gets any worse, the ramifications would be catastrophic on the global scale. Seriously, this is a planetary emergency.

Posted in: Beef containing radioactive cesium served to elementary school children in Kanagawa See in context

A little radioactive cesium here (in beef, etc.), a little cesium there (in veggies, etc.) -- certainly, eating 30g of any "one" food is not harmful for health. Yet has any addressed the cumulative effects of all the other food products ingested over a certain time period each and every day, esp. in light of knowing that the permissible radiation levels at which these products are marketed has also been raised?

Nurse Olfa Belmanaa is opposed. “We are in France, we are in a democratic country where everyone has the right to do what they want. If they want to wear a veil or go completely nude that’s their right.”

Uh... no. That's not what democracy means. Democracy means that the majority rules, and if the majority says no burkas... then guess what... no burkas.
