***Obligatory Tinfoil Hat Warning***
I've read a few articles claiming that the U.S. food supply has been contaminated with radioactive fallout from the Fukishima meltdown. According to these articles, all dairy products have been hit hardest and are unsafe. Here are some links:

Now I realize some of these sources are questionable but I still think this issue deserves some attention.
Consider the following article which refers to a study which shows that the Northwest infant mortality rate increased 35-40% in the 6 weeks after the meltdown, even after controlling for variables.

I don't want to be insensitive. The IMR, however, is a well known and reliable indicator of a population's susceptibility to disease. This means that there was, at one point in time, a significant radioactive fallout.
Should us west coast peaters be worried? All good milk where I'm from is sourced in norcal, and I gotta say I've been feeling a little "off" lately (inb4 paranoid conspiracy theorist jokes), like cognitive issues, brain fog, insomnia, anxiety etc. I think a good place to start would be determining the half-lives of particles like Iodine-131 and cesium-137. I've yet to get a definitive answer on this; I've heard 8days and 30 years. Worst case scenario i'm willing to go full neckbeard and find myself a Geiger counter
