Not Synced
As much as I love to talk
about the food we eat,
-
Not Synced
there's a lot to say
about the food we don't eat.
-
Not Synced
The stuff we don't like,
can't afford,
-
Not Synced
or I've just never been offered,
like fried tarantula in Cambodia,
-
Not Synced
jellied moose nose in Canada.
-
Not Synced
But then there are foods
we're afraid to eat.
-
Not Synced
We went to a region in Japan
were fears about food grown there
-
Not Synced
because of a very major
and very tragic event
-
Not Synced
have made consumers weary,
-
Not Synced
which makes it like,
really hard for growers.
-
Not Synced
FOOD FEARS
-
Not Synced
(Noboru) A lot of sparrows
would come eat the rice.
-
Not Synced
We fly kites instead of using scarecrows.
-
Not Synced
Rice from this area has
the highest rating, and it tastes great.
-
Not Synced
This one is called Gohyaku Gawa.
-
Not Synced
The green ones are Koshihikari.
-
Not Synced
This farm has been in Noboru Saito's
family for eight generations.
-
Not Synced
A decade ago,
Saito quit his government job
-
Not Synced
to help his mom in the farm.
-
Not Synced
I'm 82 years old.
-
Not Synced
After my son came back,
-
Not Synced
my responsibilities lightened.
-
Not Synced
But year after he returned,
disaster struck.
-
Not Synced
There was a massive earthquake.
-
Not Synced
When I looked around, the mountains--
-
Not Synced
there are lots in this area--
-
Not Synced
so these mountains looked like
-
Not Synced
they were being swayed or sliding.
-
Not Synced
That earthquake was a 9.1 magnitude.
-
Not Synced
The fourth most powerful ever recorded
-
Not Synced
That triggered a massive tsunami,
-
Not Synced
killed more than 15,000 people,
-
Not Synced
and damaged
more than a million buildings,
-
Not Synced
including the Fukushima
Daiichi Nuclear Plant,
-
Not Synced
which is still leaking radiation today.
-
Not Synced
There's still piles of radioactive topsoil
-
Not Synced
under black tarps near Saito's property,
-
Not Synced
which is 50 kilometers
from the power plant.
-
Not Synced
(Noboru) Some people decided
to stop farming
-
Not Synced
and fled to other regions
with their entire families.
-
Not Synced
Personally, I didn't run away.
-
Not Synced
I tried to make things work in this region
and fight the radiation.
-
Not Synced
It's catching the B-waves
from the radiation.
-
Not Synced
We have to make sure
the rice doesn't carry radiation.
-
Not Synced
So every spring,
-
Not Synced
we put potassium in our paddies.
-
Not Synced
It'll absorb potassium
instead of [radioactive] cesium.
-
Not Synced
This is known as inhibition of resorption.
-
Not Synced
The disaster has forced Sato
to find new ways
-
Not Synced
to make sure his produce is safe,
-
Not Synced
including raising money on the internet
-
Not Synced
to buy a 22,000 dollar radiation tester.
-
Not Synced
(Noburu) Here, we have some peppers.
-
Not Synced
You have to measure their weight first.
-
Not Synced
560, 550 grams.
-
Not Synced
And then you put it inside.
-
Not Synced
The machine will measure the radiation.
-
Not Synced
The Japanese government says
the food from Fukushima is safe.
-
Not Synced
Two years after the Meltdown,
-
Not Synced
he reported the 1.5% of food products
were over the radiation limit
-
Not Synced
by 2017, that number
dropped to 0.05 percent.
-
Not Synced
But people are still reluctant,
-
Not Synced
but I got jokes.
-
Not Synced
I'm on my shoes my shoes with external debt
money. System is a nice demo everybody.
-
Not Synced
Since you Tomatoes
-
Not Synced
just because customers are coming back,
doesn't mean the disaster is completely over
-
Not Synced
by 2020 to
-
Not Synced
the nuclear plant will run out of storage
facilities for radioactive, waste water
-
Not Synced
and experts have advised the government
to release the water into the ocean,
-
Not Synced
which could impact fishing and raise
new concerns about the Region's produce.
-
Not Synced
Koji Fujiyama is also a farmer who she
met who specializes in luxury, peaches
-
Not Synced
his strategy, for shaking the region
stigma is to be the best in the world.
-
Not Synced
He's no more. Not good. Thanks.
-
Not Synced
One more. Hold on. You are going to go down.
There are no tunic over my entire body.
-
Not Synced
Hi. There are 24 psychiatrist
about communication and
-
Not Synced
Who knows?
-
Not Synced
His best pitches have three times
as much sugar as a supermarket Peach
-
Not Synced
and they're priced at twenty
thousand dollars a piece.
-
Not Synced
Oh, no kidding. It's event otaktay.
-
Not Synced
Even his more affordable,
fruits are pretty expensive.
-
Not Synced
The they could start.
-
Not Synced
It's Japan prepares to Showcase its
recovery by hosting the Olympics,
-
Not Synced
10 years after the earthquake.
-
Not Synced
It's announced that the baseball and
softball events will happen in Fukushima
-
Not Synced
Farmers.
-
Not Synced
Here are excited
-
Not Synced
that the games May give them the
opportunity to reintroduce the world
-
Not Synced
to their produce. The
guy in immediate Danger.
-
Not Synced
No, you're gonna knock out this material.
-
Not Synced
Don't know, why do we cure go?
-
Not Synced
Not the mama even then I could eat
it all seemed agitated. I dare ya.
-
Not Synced
Similar for your jig is an eye on people
do that. They can't say that I did.
