9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
As much as I love to talk[br]about the food we eat,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
there's a lot to say [br]about the food we don't eat.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The stuff we don't like, [br]can't afford,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or I've just never been offered, [br]like fried tarantula in Cambodia,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
jellied moose nose in Canada.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But then there are foods [br]we're afraid to eat.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We went to a region in Japan [br]were fears about food grown there

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because of a very major [br]and very tragic event

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
have made consumers weary,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which makes it like,[br]really hard for growers.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
FOOD FEARS

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Noboru) A lot of sparrows[br]would come eat the rice.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We fly kites instead of using scarecrows.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Rice from this area has [br]the highest rating, and it tastes great.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This one is called Gohyaku Gawa.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The green ones are Koshihikari.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>This farm has been in Noboru Saito's[br]family for eight generations.</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>A decade ago, [br]Saito quit his government job</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>to help his mom in the farm.</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm 82 years old.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
After my son came back,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
my responsibilities lightened.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>But year after he returned, [br]disaster struck.</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There was a massive earthquake.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When I looked around, the mountains--

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
there are lots in this area--

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so these mountains looked like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they were being swayed or sliding.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>That earthquake was a 9.1 magnitude.</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>The fourth most powerful ever recorded</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>That triggered a massive tsunami,</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>killed more than 15,000 people,</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>and damaged[br]more than a million buildings,</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>including the Fukushima[br]Daiichi Nuclear Plant,</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>which is still leaking radiation today.</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>There's still piles of radioactive topsoil</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>under black tarps near Saito's property,</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>which is 50 kilometers[br]from the power plant.</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Noboru) Some people decided[br]to stop farming

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and fled to other regions[br]with their entire families.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Personally, I didn't run away.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I tried to make things work in this region[br]and fight the radiation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's catching the B-waves[br]from the radiation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We have to make sure[br]the rice doesn't carry radiation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So every spring,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
we put potassium in our paddies.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It'll absorb potassium[br]instead of [radioactive] cesium.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is known as inhibition of resorption.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>The disaster has forced Sato[br]to find new ways</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>to make sure his produce is safe,</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>including raising money on the internet</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<i>to buy a 22,000 dollar radiation tester.</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Noburu) Here, we have some peppers.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You have to measure their weight first.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
560, 550 grams.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And then you put it inside.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The machine will measure the radiation.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The Japanese government says[br]the food from Fukushima is safe.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Two years after the Meltdown,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he reported the 1.5% of food products[br]were over the radiation limit

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
by 2017, that number[br]dropped to 0.05 percent.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But people are still reluctant,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but I got jokes.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm on my shoes my shoes with external debt[br]money. System is a nice demo everybody.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Since you Tomatoes

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
just because customers are coming back,[br]doesn't mean the disaster is completely over

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
by 2020 to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the nuclear plant will run out of storage[br]facilities for radioactive, waste water

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and experts have advised the government[br]to release the water into the ocean,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which could impact fishing and raise[br]new concerns about the Region's produce.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Koji Fujiyama is also a farmer who she[br]met who specializes in luxury, peaches

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
his strategy, for shaking the region[br]stigma is to be the best in the world.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
He's no more. Not good. Thanks.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
One more. Hold on. You are going to go down.[br]There are no tunic over my entire body.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Hi. There are 24 psychiatrist[br]about communication and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Who knows?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
His best pitches have three times[br]as much sugar as a supermarket Peach

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and they're priced at twenty[br]thousand dollars a piece.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Oh, no kidding. It's event otaktay.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Even his more affordable,[br]fruits are pretty expensive.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The they could start.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's Japan prepares to Showcase its[br]recovery by hosting the Olympics,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
10 years after the earthquake.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's announced that the baseball and[br]softball events will happen in Fukushima

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Farmers.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Here are excited

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that the games May give them the[br]opportunity to reintroduce the world

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to their produce. The[br]guy in immediate Danger.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
No, you're gonna knock out this material.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Don't know, why do we cure go?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Not the mama even then I could eat[br]it all seemed agitated. I dare ya.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Similar for your jig is an eye on people[br]do that. They can't say that I did.
