Low Level Radioactivity Found In US Milk, Despite Obama Promise That "Radiation Will Not Reach" America

From the AP:

The Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration say that very low levels of radiation have turned up in a sample of milk from Washington state. But federal officials say consumers should not worry.

The FDA said such findings are to be expected in the coming days because of the nuclear crisis in Japan, and that the levels are expected to drop relatively quickly.

Results from a March 25 milk sample taken from Spokane, Wash., show levels of radioactive Iodine-131 that are still 5,000 times below levels of concern set by the FDA, including levels set for infants and children.

The EPA said it is increasing the level of nationwide monitoring of milk, precipitation and drinking water following the crisis at the Japanese nuclear power plant.

That's the bad news. The good news is that Obama promised radiation will never reach the US. And Obama would never lie.

tptb are attempting to frame the debate over energy alternatives into a debate about the use of coal exclusively.  There I hope that disclaimer to my previous post makes my position more clear.  I see very little advocacy for hemp agriculture and industry everywhere.  Hemp advocates remind me of metal investors in a way.  They comprise demographically probably only 2% of the nation.  Maybe.

When it says "Obama promised radiation will never reach the US" I think he meant, "never reach US" - he's currently safe thousands of miles away.
