U.S. Meat Farmers Brace for Limits on Antibiotics
This article flat out sickens me. The fact that there is a debate going around whether or not antibiotics should be given to healthy animals that we slaughter is disgusting. If we were really afraid of getting diseases like E.coli and salmenla, then don't eat the meat. Or, if the antibiotics are really causing a threat to our health then they should just be stopped. It is not making a difference in the animals to begin with. So it is making them grow a little faster...big deal. I guess the faster they can kill the poor pig for a profit the better.
