1 in 4 Supermarket Meat Samples Tainted With Drug-Resistant Bacteria

The US food supply is increasingly being compromised by drug resistant bacteria and E Coli and other health hazards. It is dangerous for all of us and may well result in a major epidemic of sickness and death among Americans who currently trust government and industry to safeguard public health. Yet the regulators continue to play russian roulette with the people's health and our food safety standards lag far behind much of the world. We should all be alarmed by this report and open our eyes to the possibility, or probability, that new drug-resistant diseases will result from the widespread use of antibiotics in our food supply.
