I am not assuming anything. Facts so far: boar in Bavaria is exceeding radiation limits for nutrition and can thus not be used (differs through out Bavaria of course), these limits have been put in place for good reason (I do not open a discission about the validity of safe thresholds for potetially dangerous stuff) and that this problem is directly linked to Chernobyl.

Your argument was, I summarize, that is not bad, the thresholds are way to low anyway and don't hurt. In short, we should increase safe thresholds and move on, right? That's how stuff works so, and it is a repetition of the arguments all the VW apologists used to downplay the scandal. That line of argument is dishonest, IMHO.

We can continue to discuss all those other points I raised, or the official investigation reports. Otherwise we turn im circles, and I don't have time for that.
