You don’t think those plants aren’t going to take up nuclear fallout as they grow? Or that even disturbing the soil by working it will give you plenty of exposure? Leafy greens and root crops would be the worst for exposure.
The thing is contamination pollutes upwards, so if leafy greens have 1 mg of radiation per daily intake. The meat from herbivores would be something like ten times that amount and carnivores would be ten times the contamination of herbivores.
We’re seeing this effect with micro plastics and fish, the higher up in the food chain a fish is, the more micro plastics they have
