I live on the edge of the blast zone, and I think it's probably safe to say our food has been contaminated for awhile here.
The Ohio river is FILTHY, it always has been. We have a long history of dumping chemical waste in it. Then there's the Cuyahoga River, which feeds into several aquifers in the basin. It's caught on fire something like 11 times. We named a beer after it "Great lakes burning river" lol. That's a great summary of how everyone in Ohio feels. We've had terrible water quality for a long time.
Our governor has been covering up radioactive waste and unpotable levels of contamination in our water for 2+ years. Of course, we've been busy with the scandal where he illegally gave 9 million dollars to a faulty nuclear plant to keep it running LOL
We're all just lobsters in a slowly boiling pot "this is normal."
Wow... thanks for sharing I did not realize there was a bit more history to it.
