Is the FDA letting us down when it comes to the use of antibiotics in animal feed? Every year, antibiotic-resistant infections kill at least 23,000 Americans and make another two million sick, according to the CDC. For years industrial meat and poultry producers have fed healthy animals antibiotics to fatten them up fast. The antibiotics also prevent disease in what are often overcrowded, unsanitary conditions. This practice breeds antibiotic-resistant bacteria that threaten us all. “We shouldn’t have to worry that we’re endangering our health each time we put a morsel of meat into our mouths.”
