Japan Increasing 'Acceptable Exposure Limit' to twice the 'Nuclear Waste Level' for Children

The “temporary safe limit” for radiation in food and beverages in Japan has been set to levels higher than the international legal limits for nuclear waste. Infant beverages have been set twice as high as the nuclear waste limit and for children and adults between 3 to 4 times the nuclear waste limit. In food the limit has been set up to 20 times international nuclear waste limits and of course all of these levels are hundreds of times higher than legal limits allowed in food in beverages of other nations around the world.

This is so typical for governments. Let's not forget that the US will not even be checking radioactive levels of imported food from Japan. Only a fool would eat anything labeled 'Made in Japan' with a production date after 3-11. An additional problem is companies incorporating Japanese products produced after 3-11 into their own products. How will we know?

Perhaps BRAWN can tell us if this is as safe as the banana. How far will we have to fly in order to get this 'temporary safe level'? Or better yet, how many bananas would a monkey have to eat in order to get this level of exposure? Does this mean that it is safe to eat radioactive waste?
