Drug-Resistant Bacteria in Half Your Meat? Time for Congress to Act

The news keeps getting worse with regard to antibiotic-resistant bacteria in our food supply. The health implications of this trend are potentially devastating as large swaths of our population could become infected with bacterial diseases which traditional antibiotics would be unable to treat effectively. We need to legislate against the reckless industrial uses of antibiotics in food production, or we will fail not only ourselves but our children and the generations that follow.
