Scared, escaped and adjusted

These are pictures at meat corners of a supermarket in Suginami, Tokyo, Jul.20, 2011.
Good domestic beef meet sold at the half of usual prices.





In Jul.09, it was broadcasted that radioactive cecium was detected from beaf meat produced in Fukushima prefecture. And in Jul.14, radioactive cecium wes detected from beef meet produced in wide area of Japan. Because radioactive polluted rice straw was diffused to about all areas of Japan, so beefs which ate them were polluted. People in Japan became to hate to buy and eat beef meat. So the supermarket forced to cut down the price of beef meet.
In Jul.23, I saw very few amount of beef meats. I couldn't take the picture, but racks of beef meats were empty. It seemed so cold.

And now, most of supermarkets are selling beef meat as useal. Looking closer, we can find the beaf meat corners are scale-downed, so it seems not empty. The supermarkets are saying all of meats were surveyed and they are not radioactive polluted. We have to believe that, because we, ordinary Japanese have no way to test that the meats are radioactively polluted or not.
Japanese eat not so large amount of beaf meat, and we were not so threaten by radioactive polluted beaf meat which were found early July. Now we are considering that there are no safe beef meet in Japan, and have adjusted ourselves to slightly radioactive polluted foods.
