I think they lie about it a lot. Why? Because economy and because of mass panic. Some sort of that. 'Cause, in the beginning they also didn't speak about a "nuclear fallout", and today they even admit it openly that it was something like that what happened there. Worse than Pripyat. So that shit is much, much worse in any way than they like to admit. Administration can't only say "people, half of our food's gonna be contamined until the very day". It wasn't purely for nothing that there was some sort of news of Putin saying "if Japan needs territory to relocate, just let me know". If that was really serious, well, let that be another matter... But that was because one could realize with one's understanding that, if things process really badly, you can just evacuate all of the Japanese islands there. That's how bad it was. So nothing much discussing about the foods still cultivated over there... (But you also continue to hear reports of Japanese people being mistrustful themselves. They sort of sense that their government didn't and still doesn't tell them the truth about the full impact of this event. I don't know if common knowledge is the reason, or the example in Ukraine 30 years ago, or both or something else.)
