Produce from California
Are the raisins, pomegranates, strawberries and grapes radiation free currently or are there still radioactive Cecium contain in California produce?
Also are the apples from Washington State radiation free currently or are there still radioactive Cecium contained from Washington apples and produce??
BRAWM measurements
Take a look at the measurements in BRAWM's archives above.
The amount of radioactivity in the rain, air, produce... in California and on the west coast was trivial even a few weeks after the Fukushima accident.
You do realize that this is a radioactive world, and Mother Nature has made lots of things radioactive that you breathe and ingest every day. You've heard of Carbon-14 dating? The reason we know the precise ages of the ancient Egyptians and other ancient civilizations is because we measure the naturally occurring radioactive material that they consumed. There was no "nuclear industry" to make radioactive substances back then. It was all due to Mother Nature.
BRAWM has been most helpful in putting this in perspective for us. I remember how shortly after the Fukushima accident, we had a bunch of scientific know-nothings and other assorted dimbulbs and idiots that got Geiger counters and "found" fallout from Fukushima in rainwater. BRAWM pointed out that what they were seeing with their Geiger counters was naturally occurring Radon in the water.
Since then we've had a plethora of anti-nuclear jerks attempting to scare people with their self-serving propaganda. Don't be as stupid as these jerks.
Ignore the scare-mongers, and listen only to BRAWM and the other good scientists that post here.
Kinda Sensitive
It appears to irritate this Jerk, that:
Some of us avoided Left Coast dairy & produce during 2011.
Avoid Left Coast Vintage 2011 wines.
Advocate ALARA as we were taught, ALL our lives.
Consider the Linear No Threshold model 'the best fit line', all things considered.
Avoid NW Pacific seafood.
Discuss these matters in public forums.
Well, you can go scrue yourself. We do NOT particularly care what you eat and drink. We certainly do NOT care what opinion you hold of our dietary selections.
Go WHINE, btch pissnmoan elsewhere. We are not buying what you are selling.
Nuclear fallout is a random event. Some concentrations occur due to rain, wind and bio-accumulation. Prudence is seldom a disadvantage.

Undated Wines
Lots of 2011 Left Coast wines are undated.
So, I do not drink Undated or 2011 California wines.
A few California wines are labeled as containing IMPORTED grapes, from the southern hemisphere. I have purchased a few of those. Not sure that I believe the labels; but I don't KNOW for CERTAIN.
Not much truth in labeling or consumer protection out there. We are all pretty much 'You're On Your Own' (YOYO) MOFO.
Caution is the Order of the Day, in a LAWLESS Land.
YOYO MOFO, IMHO
