the world as we know it is fucked because of humans
Shh, some people may get offended that this is a scare tactic to get them away from eating meat. People who do this must be some sort of commie vegetarians!
I would be interested in seeing your source. I understand that the overuse of antibiotics causes drug resistant infections. However, not everyone can afford to eat organic, grass fed meat. Ideally, that’s the perfect case scenario. But, people buy the groceries they can afford.
and when we can no longer treat people for infections due to antibiotic resistance meat consumption will drop dramatically as humans won't be around to consume it. THat is not a risk in the far future, it is present today
Use of growth hormones and antibiotics in the meat industry is the reason I limit my meat consumption. I only eat organic, grass fed (even that category is wide open for abuse) and RGBT /antibiotic free options.
@TheAstroChuck Yes. It is better for the environment and our health. Too bad we can't get more people on board with it!!
Good post, could you provide a source?? Thank you.
@TheAstroChuck
True just have not seen the 70% before.
I did not know it was that high. Thank You!
FDA
The FDA states that thew use of these antibiotics is one of the causes that drug resistant bacteria. Colistin a last of the line of defense antibiotic is now being resisted by an e coli found in pigs. The drug companies do not wish to invest in new antibiotics because they become useless to quickly because of the overuse and this reduces profit from the drug.
I tend to agree with their stance. WHy develop drugs that will be overused and become ineffective toward disease no matter the profit margin?
