DO NOT buy Food from Japan

From NHK TV this morning levels of radiation were in fact found in cow's
milk and spinach crop.

If there's any radiation in the air when it rains, it's coming to the
ground possibly contaminating other crops.

Why do you find that so hard to believe?

They're probably very concerned about their prized Kobe beef supply
being wiped out of existence. I would be!

Their prized Kobe beef is just fine since it really comes from Texas
and is just sent to Japan for finishing and slaughter.

Kobe beef comes from a scrawny critter which no true rancher would
have on his/her ranch. If you want tender flavorful beef, slaughter a
nice Jersey steer or heifer when it is between one and two years of
age. Just as good as Kobe beef at much less cost.

What nonsense! No Kobe beef is raised anywhere but Japan.

The stock is selected from breeding stock that is some of the highest
priced beef stock on the planet. The animals are treated like children
right up to butchering time. They are fed better than any other beef
stock anywhere.

The fact that you've said differently tells me you have no idea what
you're talking about. A simple check on the net will verify what I've
said and you can't find ANYTHING to back up the silly claims you've
made. Get real!

"Scrawny Critters" what a stupid thing to say! Pull up Google Images
and type in "Kobe Beef". Then look at those critters! The meat is so
marbled in fat that it's prized around the world for its fat content.

Oh, you mean those exceptionally fat scrawny critters?

Hahahahahahaaha, thanks for the laugh though!

Julie,

Before you start gobbling up potassium iodide pills visit:
http://radiationnetwork.com/ for near real-time readings around the USA. It
appears to be a private company, not a government agency.

I think doomed is overstating matters just a tad. There is fear and
helplessness nagging at all of us.

Three Mile Island's meltdown in Harrisburg, PA was much more serious. I
forget the death toll or related health issues but at least there have
never been any reports of green mutant Pennsylvanians as a result.

In our teens we used to sneak into an abandoned gypsum quarry right next to
a nuclear power plant. The water was as hot as a hot tub. Crystal clear
water and full of catfish (with only two eyeas and one tail each) so we
felt safe. But the plant was close enough to our private little 10-acre
swimming hole that it made a huge temperature difference. The quarry had
straight cliffs rising 100+ feet above the waterline almost the whole way
around. It really was a beautiful and serene place to be, even considering
"the neighbors."

Best,

Andy

Wagyu beef is way overpriced and way over-hyped. No doubt it is a
specialty product but for unpampered and poor common folk it is beyond
our means. As a retired cattle rancher who has raised Shorthorn,
Hereford, Simmental, Black Angus and Murray Gray cattle, I will stay
with our domestic breeds.

Glad you got a laugh...sometimes they are in short supply.

Kobe beef refers to cuts of beef from the black Tajima-ushi breed of
Wagyu cattle, raised according to strict tradition in Hyogo
Prefecture, Japan.

The massive increase in popularity of Kobe beef in the United States
has led to the creation of "Kobe-style" beef, taken from
domestically-raised Wagyu crossbred with Angus cattle, in order to
meet the demand.

Farms in America and Britain have attempted to replicate the Kobe
traditions, providing their Wagyu herds with beer. U.S meat producers
claim that any differences between their less expensive "Kobe-style"
beef and true Kobe beef are largely cosmetic.

The cattle are fed American and/or British grass and grain, which is
different from the more expensive Japanese feed. Cuts of American
"Kobe-style" beef tend to have darker meat and a bolder flavor.

"Kobe-style" beef is not "Kobe Beef", regardless of its quality.

The manner in which Kobe cattle are raised is what sets them off from
any other beef. Even the attempts by American and British companies
have only made a second rate product when compared to actual Kobe
beef.

I only eat Kobe Beef as sushi, and that only once every ten outings or
so. Like you said, the stuff is crazy with its price. Same with real
Tuna belly (fatty tuna), or Toro. Awesomely yummy, but will kill your
wallet.

Most Kobe beef is raised in the Americas and shipped to Japan for
finishing.

You scored -5.

Well, in that case, I hope you are the first person to eat the cancer
causing radioactive food. It was on the news yesterday that the
spinach fields near the reactors are contaminated, as well as their
milk supply. If the spinach has it, so do all vegetables and fruits,
and if the milk has it, so does the meat.

But hey, suit yourself. Eat it and that'll be the sooner your
assinine remarks will be gone from the net. Enjoy your cancer !
