I like honey and nuclear weapons. I consume honey on a daily basis. Can this affect my health? Am I eating radioactive fallout?

If anything, in tens of thousands of years, when anthropologists dig up the remains of the 2000s civilizations, you will make it that much easier for them to date us.

I can understand liking nuclear power, but you like... nuclear weapons?! Or has my sarcasm meter failed miserably?!

  Well minus the fallout and mortalities quite some people, included, find big explosions quite awesome. I wouldn’t say I like nuclear weapons specifically though

  There is a theory that the so called 'Long Peace' of 1945-present is a direct consequence of nuclear proliferation. This could be one possible reason to like nuclear weapons. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Peace https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Peace

    Sure… but that’s an off-by-one error from wiping out civilization.

      It is impossible to know how many civilian lives have been saved from conventional weaponry (including your own) because the threat of nuclear holocaust has nullified any benefits from such attacks. For example, I find it extremely hard to believe that the US mainland would have been able to go this long without being bombed without its nuclear arsenal. We've pissed off a lot of people that would love to destroy us but they can't because we would carry out our own holocaust within minutes. Countless American, Russian, Chinese, Israeli, and Indian wars have fizzled out before the first shot because of the implication of nuclear bombardment.

It's in the article > The radiocesium levels reported in the new study fall "well below" 1200 becquerels per kilogram—the cutoff for any food safety concerns, the agency (red: FDA) says.
