Radioactive Tuna Caught Off California Coast
May 30, 2012 - Researchers are startled to find Bluefin Tuna have not been able to flush out all the radioactive contamination from Fukishma. It was previously thought that the nuclear fallout would not linger in huge fish that sail the world because such fish were thought to be able to metabolize and shed radioactive substances.
Supposedly, it should be okay to eat these Tuna, even though the radioactive Cesium levels are 10 times higher than those in Tuna caught off the California cost in previous years.
Quote:
To rule out the possibility that the radiation was carried by ocean currents or deposited in the sea through the atmosphere, the team also analyzed yellowfin tuna, found in the eastern Pacific, and bluefin that migrated to Southern California before the nuclear crisis. They found no trace of cesium-134 and only background levels of cesium-137 left over from nuclear weapons testing in the 1960s.
The results "are unequivocal. Fukushima was the source," said Ken Buesseler of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, who had no role in the research.

I presume the contaminants would be mostly gamma emitters? IIRC Cs 137 is mostly a gamma emitter with some beta, but I'm unsure of Cs 134.

Truth be told, if it's radioactive, it won't glow and you won't grow any extra appendages. You'll just get sick-
...with a tearing ripping pain in your stomach and intestines, feeling as if someone is eating you using a fork;
...your arms and scalp will feel like they're on fire and you'll lose your hair by the handfuls;
...your gums will bleed and feel like someone is jabbing them with dull hypo needles, and you will lose all of your teeth;
...your skin will get scaly and every move will make your skin ripple with pain;
...and eventually you will die like a beaten puppy.
You know, the same symptoms you get after eating at McDonalds.

Well its becoming more and more clear that the only way to get healthy food is either out of your own garden, pond, lake, chicken coop, pig pen ect ect ect.
Gotta do everything the oldschool way.
