Hi Everyone,
Just a very short note. There will be an update about the FDA Citizen Petition to lower radiation in food very soon, hopefully this coming week. Until then, wanted to share that I’ve started blogging over at Natural News and this is the most recent

I'm starting to get the hang of it, slowly but surely. Please share the link and also follow @radfreefoodie
Thanks, and have a good weekend,

“FFAN is the only group working toward safe food policy in the U.S. due to the ongoing Fukushima Daiichi nuclear catastrophe. Please support their work and comment on the FDA Citizen Petition today!” ~ Dr. Peter Montague, Founder and Director of Environmental Research Foundation
Fukushima Fallout Awareness Network is a coalition of groups and concerned citizens who share information and resources in response to the ongoing radioactive fallout of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster and then act to find solutions. FFAN is committed to holding government agencies and elected officials responsible for protecting the U.S. food supply, as well networking with the people of Japan who are trying to protect their food supply.
Flash back to April 1, 2011. After what seemed like an eternity of online searches for any news about Fukushima’s impact on our food in the US, I wrote an urgent petition to the US Congress and President Obama asking for transparent, responsible food monitoring. The petition took on life of its own, leading to a paper, and then a 100 page book, “Silence Deafening, Fukushima Fallout..A Mother’s Response.” I reconnected with an amazing community of activists who had been devoting their lives to raising awareness about the dangers of nuclear power for years. They immediately understood the threat that Fukushima was posing to our food supply. Beyond Nuclear, Citizens for Health, and Ecological Options Network are a few of the groups that joined Fukushima Fallout Awareness Network (FFAN) and then met several times with US Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein’s top aides alerting them to the health dangers posed by Fukushima’s radioactive releases."
