U.S. Meat Farmers Brace for Limits on Antibiotics
Dispensing antibiotics to healthy animals is routine on the large, concentrated farms that now dominate American agriculture. But the practice is increasingly condemned by medical experts who say it contributes to a growing scourge of modern medicine: the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including dangerous E. coli strains that account for millions of bladder infections each year, as well as resistant types of salmonella and other microbes.
Now, after decades of debate, the Food and Drug Administration appears poised to issue its strongest guidelines on animal antibiotics yet, intended to reduce what it calls a clear risk to human health. They would end farm uses of the drugs simply to promote faster animal growth and call for tighter oversight by veterinarians. </em>
The effects of stuffing factory farmed animals full of drugs to grow faster and to counteract the perils of cramming large amounts of shitting animals together in too small a place are disgusting, dangerous and ruining our bodies immune systems.
Eat grass fed meat from local growers, and avoid this crap altogether.
