I have put another link on the other thread about the milk .and veg in the UK ..Natural News.com
There are many up there as I am sure you have found, the best one maybe the American Nuclear Society web site www.ans.org I googled . It may not help you in Canada.If you just put map in much info ...
Do you by chance have the link for that map? I would love to have a look at it. I have to say, I am just completely uncertain what to do here. I have switched him to a calcium enriched, vitamin d enriched soy milk. He likes it so that is a good thing. But I am so worried about everything I am feeding him now. They keep telling us the amounts are minimal, but what does that mean? Perhaps no harm to an adult, but what about that little 20lb body that is growing and developing. I am scared as to what the long term effects are possibly going to be for him. This is just so scary and while I understand our gov`t doesn`t want to panic anyone, at the same time I tend to deal better with the honest truth. I want to know what we are dealing with. We are very close to the west coast. If you are moving west to northeast from California, you have California, Oregon, Washington State, then B.C. and then Alberta where I am. Many of our veggies are imported from California in the winter and of course locally grown in the proper season. I wonder if other parents are worrying as much as I am about this.
I just put it in and it is showing me the moving cloud Cesium 137, it says The Fukushima forcast shows a large radiation Cloud over the US west Coast on April 14th/April 15th and has covered most of North America and the radioactive materials have deposited on the ground .They are also saying that the fall out is about the same as the 1960's Nuclear open air explosions .. so it may be disbursing ..
My daughter in UK , they have just been warned , has a stock of long life milk , there may be some where you live, also evaporated milk in cans ..don't know if that's okay for small children/babies..I think its best to go and search around the internet , I do know most authorities downplay it like they did with Chenobyl because of panic,. .If a child is older they don't have to drink milk, but veg are grown in the ground and the rain brings the radioactive materials down onto the grass and earth. I am going to check if the plume has moved over California ,check where you are living and find out the ratio ..they show maps of how it is moving they should also tell you the hazards, it may disperse once it has passed over , .The local authorities in each area should tell us about the water supply .I know we have been getting doses of radiation in CA after all the nuclear testing done in the desert here, many think it has contributed to Thyroid problems ..
what in Washington no that's where I'm at and my family and i have a 2 year old sister who drink cows milk like 4 times a day oh my gosh. well I'm going to take my sister off the milk and but her on something so much better. they cant say they are testing our products and that we are perfectly safe because if they was not scared they wouldn't be testing our food products makes me kinda wonder.
Narla, that is what I don't understand. It just doesn't feel right to me. I am far from a paranoid person and never put much stock in conspiracies or anything, but I will tell you, this issue has me nervous. Margy, I have thought about all the other dairy which of course is now leading me done an even more frightening thought. If it is in rainwater (which of course makes sense) what else is becoming contaminated? Fruits and vegetables, our meat, etc. etc. And to make matters worse Canada has this bizarre loophole. Food products can be produced anywhere, but if it is packaged in Canada, they can label it "Produced in Canada". So it is very difficult to find out the origins of any product really. The more this continues, the more frightened I am becoming.
What gets me is if there is no problem then why are they scared of testing?
and other Dairy products ..check out the food chain .
I think with cows milk the radioactive particles get onto the grass especially after rain ..Its seems very sensible to remove your boy form cows milk, till you know more about the levels in your area .
It just boggles my mind that they aren't testing. And scares me to death. I have taken Ryder off of cows milk for now. It probably isn't much of a threat where we are...we produce almost all of our own milk locally..lot's of farming and dairy here, plus we are a landlocked province, so again not as big a worry as for some of you, but still. I am also not serving or eating seafood for now. Not until I am 100% convinced everything is safe..and that includes testing.
I think that one guy had a very very valid point. Run the tests and give the results to the public. Prove it! Seems like a simple thing to do no?
