From CNN today:
Radiation found in food as workers scramble to curb nuclear crisis
Tokyo (CNN) -- The Japanese government halted the sale of all food from farms near a tsunami-affected nuclear plant Saturday after abnormally high levels of radiation were found in milk and spinach.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said levels of radiation exceeding safety limits stipulated by Japanese law were found in some samples of spinach and milk from the Fukushima and Ibaraki prefectures but authorities said the radioactive iodine-contaminated food posed little risk.
(Yeah, right.)
Tainted milk was found 30 kilometers from the plant and spinach was collected as far as 100 kilometers (65 miles) to the south, almost half way to Tokyo.

I still can't forget that Korean woman the other night who sold me my dinner, saying, "They're getting what they deserve".
Japs have a lot to live down and not all of those they were so shitty to have died yet.
ya'd think 60 years was enough, but maybe not. The question arises, are we children and grandchildren of the bad people responsible for what they did?
I know the Germans just shut up and took the abuse for what their ancestors did. Maybe the Japanese have as well. I'm not sure.
We're paying for slavery as well, as we all know. As we should.
I didn't hear this report about what the Korean woman said. I just wouldn't wish ill on them, in spite of the atrocities of WWII.
I hope, for our sake, as Americans, that we're not responsible for what our ancestors did or we have to live down those 400 years of slavery, torture, murders and ugly, ugly discrimination that took so many forms we can hardly document them all, as you suggested.
