Does Anyone Know --Is Champion Testing Fish Sources?

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

I debated with myself before posting this discussion because the contamination of fish and plankton on the west coast and the upper Northwest by Fukushima is surrounded by such a storm of confusing controversy but I'm curious about the wild-caught Pacific fish in both Origen and Acana.  Since a lot of us use and love that food, I'm wondering if anyone has been in contact with Champion directly? I'd really like to be reassured that Champion is testing its fish food sources - ideally through a credible 3rd party.

Just to be clear, I'm not buying into the theories at either end of the spectrum: (1) everything is fine, there's no problem; less radiation than you'd get in a banana crowd or the (2) the food chain is  completely contaminated and we're all going to die crowd.  I do admit that some evidence and common sense are giving me pause before paying a premium price for these foods because I believe the food sources are safe, but I don't really know.  I just want to know, are they monitoring possible contamination levels of cesium and/or strontium-90 in their foods, which I think is all one can ask right now?

I have vivid memories of those drills in first grade.   Under the desk with our hands clasped over our heads.   Oh, the good old days!  LOL

I'm glad I was not alone.

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

LOL as a fellow baby boomer,  I remember thinking getting under my silly desk was the height of absolute nonsense.

[Carol and Banjo]

You must have been in the advanced class Cheryl….I bought it hook, line and sinker!

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

ROTFL I don't know about that, Carol! 

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Me too. Fires, air raids, I had no idea about either of them. 

[F, Calla & Luca]

I remember very early worries about things. My kids accuse me of worrying too much all the time : )

On the other hand, nobody ever thought about Xraying our Halloween candy. LOL

[F, Calla & Luca]

No but my kids didn't have they're feet x-rayed to see if their shoes fit like I did.

[Gail and Bailey]

I remember all of the above as well!  I was also a "Polio Pioneer".  Anyone remember that?

[F, Calla & Luca]

No, I just remember going to the camp where my mother was head counselor. In between sessions we didn't come home to avoid polio in NYC.

[F, Calla & Luca]

We knew folly even as kids : )
