This reminds me of the cadmium scare in Chedar Somerset UK.

Many years ago, cadmium was found naturally to be in the soil of peoples gardens. The folks had been eating it for years in their home grown vegetables.

Who cares about those people who will die sooner or later because of high cadmium levels?

It's a shame🙏
