As I listened to the days top news on NBC.com I had a thought....
Whether or not the radiation from the disaster in Japan is reaching our country; air, land, water or food and whether or not it is at levels that may harm us - I do not know. I take the word of our safety agencies with some hesitation - sadly. At the same time, I have no sense of panic or fear at this point. Some people are quite fearful.
People in America (and elsewhere I suppose) are doing things that they think (often mistakenly) will protect them from radiation. Whether or not the level is harmful - it is still considered a small amount. [I am of the notion that there is no safe level of radiation though there may be necessary levels of radiation]
I imagine the amount is no more (and likely much less) than we get riding in airplanes or I KNOW going through a full body scanner - and certainly it is nowhere near the level of a CT scan.
I have to wonder - are the people who are (exceptionally) concerned about the radiation from Japan afraid of these other things as well?

Hey!...still reading.. and watching your videos--I see you got your hair cut..cute.
One of my almost daily sweet treats I adapted from your gelatin recipe. My adaptation is like a chiffon. I love it and it helps me manage my sweet tooth for not a lot of calories.
Wondering if you might know and comment about the accuracy of cholesterol testing methods...the blood from the finger versus from the arm/vein.
I had both a week apart--both fasting-- and the triglycerides and HDL were comparable but a huge difference in the total cholesterol and LDL. No one can give me a reasonable explanation why.
I'd think blood is blood.
