Thanks for the info. Wether or not they are mutated or radiated isnt the big picture here so much as that they could very well be.
Here is my take. Also, thanks for this and now you'll see why.
I am a cherry addict. I eat these things by the bags every time I see them put out fresh at wally world.
I have never, ever, saw so many diformities in one bag. To tell you the truth, sure, I've seen the double cherries.. Like say... Um... once a year! I eat these alot and I dont see anything close to this kind of mutation in my bags. Maybe we get better quality here than everyone else? Doubt it.
I charge anyone to go out and buy a bag and do the same. The worst Ive ever seen in a bag of cherries are now and then dried up cherries, which are few, and once in a great while, I'll see a lil mold from where the charries had been sitting in dampness for a while. BUT, NEVER, EVER seen what you're showing pictures of.
I am not saying it's not real, as I do believe there is a lil obviousness in these pics.... Im simply saying that I HAVE NOT seen anything like this and I have no idea how others are saying they have. This isnt a normal thing where I'm from.
To the person that said more or less "Just eat and be thankful you have food". I would carry your ignorant ass to japan so fast, chain you to a tree and plant a garding next to where these people are forced to live and tell you... Eat up!
Thanks again OP!

I love cherries.
Every summer I eat several pounds of them.
Today I bought a small bag and I was shocked with what I found within that bag of
cherries.
Out of 44 cherries I found these
1/3 of the cherries in that one bag are mutated.
This is NOT natural, I don't need a Geiger Counter to tell me the sky is blue.
Fukushima has come to America.
This makes me sick!edit on 3-6-2012 by Beanskinner because: (no reason given)
Is that really such a bad mutation? Eat 'em. At least you still have food!
I am hoping that doesn't happen to my cells, your cells and all of our cells - I think that's
my point.

I grew up with 4 cherry trees in the back yard (in the 70's). I have seen a lot of both those pictures. It is caused by a cold snap while the flowers are still on the tree. Simply put it is double pollinated. The follower will get pollinated just before the cold snap and kind stop then the next time it warms up another bit of pollen will get through before the first bit is finished pollinating. The single ovum will split and you will get a double seed with one stem. In the second picture one of the halves have died and shriveled while the other seed matures. I have seen this many times and they are not bad. It is caused by weather not radiation or even a mutating virus. It is just something that happens with cherries.

These are the most disgusting cherries I have ever seen.
I wouldn't eat a single one of these.
I had taken them back to the store and got a refund.
ETA: To the poster with the 4 cherry trees who said this is perfectly normal: Guess what we had cherry tres as well and let me tell you this, it's not normal. If I had a tree with 66% of the cherries mutated like shown in the picture, especially the siamese-twin-type, I had been very worried. There's always been a small percentage with mutations but I would say around the 1-2% max.edit on 4-6-2012 by H1ght3chHippie because: (no reason given)

It still sounds to me that you're jumping to conclusions, I've seen this myself.. not that many, but I also buy smaller bags it would seem and not as often.. It would be more unusual in my opinion that you HAVEN'T seen his before in your ten years of Cherry eating experience.. seems I always get at least one of those suckers every time.. and I'm on the east.
I'm not saying you're wrong.. I'm just not convinced that conclusion is the proper one.edit on 6/4/2012 by miniatus because: (no reason given)edit on 6/4/2012 by miniatus because: (no reason given)

On a serious note....heat is the culprit here. The damage was likely done last summer.

ok just curious...in your op...you said the bag...now your saying half the tree....so i am confused.....but there could be reason for it could there....OTHER than putting in the presumed fear of radiation.
a heavy rainy season will cause similar result also a frost could do the same....why would it be necessary to say radiation...or mutated courtesy of japan.....I am not trying to be harsh...but spreading fear is what keeps us all enslaved....so if your on a conspiracy site.....why would one want to promote the fear.
