Eat Your Spinach

The radioactive spinach that was threatening the world turns out to be that which was grown in a research centre and was never on the market ...

"The ministry says the radioactive cesium was detected on Thursday in a leafy vegetable taken from a field in Edogawa ward on Wednesday. The vegetable is called Komatsuna, or Japanese mustard spinach. The radioactive level was 890 becquerels per kilogram, exceeding the legal limit of 500.


The vegetable was grown at a research center, and is not being sold on the market."


Still ... Don't drink the water if you are under 12 months old ...
