Money Laundering? No, it's Food Laundering!

I read some conspiracies about the beefs from Fukushima was sold to some popular meat processing companies. It would be better not to eat beef or fishes if you live in Japan.

The funny trend in Japan is that the local governments can decide if they need to check the products for the radioactive contamination or not. They can also decide what to check for the inspection. They don't have to check all the possible contamination. What they state is that they want the products to be under the legal limit after the processing at the company. This trend seems to be quite well calculated for the Japanese tea makers. So, it is safe to drink coffee instead of green tea for awhile if you live in Japan.

Food processing chains are eager to buy vegetables from near Fukushima for the cost-cutting prices. They will produce the lunch box for convenience stores, pre-cooked meals for the restaurants, etc. That's definitely how Japanese enjoy food laundering to handle radioactive contaminated resources.

The government officials are checking the air at above 10m or more for the safety of the people. I am sure that it is a good way to check the people living in skyscrapers. I wonder how they feel about checking the people actually on the floor like homeless people. However, there are hot spot with extremely high radioactive contamination in the area randomly. These people living on top of the high-class condominiums may accidentally eat the vegetables cultivated from such hot spots. It's a gamble eating foods in Japan.
