Kamakura, Japan—Chances are pretty high, based on
prevailing public opinion, that you will think my wife and I are a tad
crazy, maybe even guilty of child abuse. During the March 2011 accident
at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, which is a couple hundred miles
from where we live, we stayed put while thousands of others fled the
Tokyo area and many foreigners left Japan for good. Not only that, we
buy as much of our fruits and vegetables as possible from Fukushima
Prefecture, the Connecticut-size jurisdiction where the plant is located
(we even specially order boxes of Fukushima produce) while millions of
others in Japan take extreme care to consume only food from the far west
and south of the country. And yes, our whole family, including our 12-
and 10-year-old sons, eats Fukushima food. We’re convinced it’s
perfectly safe, and we like helping people whose products suffer from an
unjust taint.
