What's in The News Today

Radiation levels are increasing in Japan and the evacuating areas may reach up to 25 miles around the nuclear reactors. The food supply is being threatened and the big question is can "spring farming occur." The lively hood for the farmers determines how safe the soil is and right now the levels are extremely high. A farmer that did not evacuate because he didn't want to leave his farm including the farm animals  committed suicide two days ago due to all the stress and the unknown.  Foods that have already been contaminated are: cabbage, celery, milk and spinach, within the areas of the reactor. Tokyo supermarkets have signs stating "that the food is safe." Sea water around the nuclear plant  have reached 4,385 times the legal amount of radiation levels. They want to put a camera under water to see what is causing the leakage by checking the rods associated with the reactors.
