Antibiotics in the food chain

Where there is no publicity, there is no justice, Publicity is the very soul of justice!

 - Lord Shaw -

 A possible way to limit healing of humans could be by the very food they eat. The huge amounts of antibiotics fed to sheep, cattle and chickens far exceed the amounts used for all of mankind. The excessive use of antibiotics has been proven to result in strains of bacteria which are fully drug resistant. This in turn leads to these same bacteria infecting humans and thus is untreatable as has been seen with new strains of TB, pneumonia and food poisoning germs.

Lisa found studies and data which indicated 70% of total antibiotic production is for non human therapeutic use but is used for farm animal disease control and growth promotion.

The growing clamor by researchers and hospitals concerning super germs and over prescribing of antibiotics certainly never reached to ears of the farming scientists.
