Poll question: Have you been giving your small children milk to drink since the Fukushima meltdown?
Having adults saying they are drinking it is meaningless. Reminds me of the Mayor of Tokyo(An old guy), showing that drinking the tap water is safe by drinking a big glass of it himself. Of course he didn't have any small children from his own family there drinking the stuff. And there is a reason for that.

2. Haven't you checked with your state government to find out about this?

I would advise you to do that if you haven't already.

And if they say the levels are safe I also advise reading this:

3. I drink milk every day
and I live in Japan. Can't help it, I love the stuff: cold cereal with bananas and honey, as an addition to coffee, in my pancakes...

4. No, no, no. You are missing the entire point of this poll
Are you giving it to your young children as well?

That is the question here.

6. I don't have small kids anymore
We drink milk from VT. Not a ton, but the boys eat cereal and I have a Sombrero a couple times a week :) Hopefully all the other things we do by eating local organic foods will help balance things out.

7. Well, they're not "small" anymore, but yes - we buy locally produced milk.
Two of the most prevalent brands in the grocery stores are from local companies that use local farms for their supply - Pennsylvania. No worries here.

8. Our baby is still on formula with a dairy allergy.
We haven't switched her over yet on doctors orders.
