[QUOTE="Amo, post: 1049956, member: 14857"] One thing that I didn't see mentioned in here is how often is Bovetec or Rumension used in humans? As previously stated, they "technically" are listed as anti-biodics, but if not used by human doctors as an anti-biodic what difference does it make. The reason humans are getting resistance to anti-biodics is because every time they get a cold they run to the doctor. I don't have a problem with niche markets. They have their place. I do have a problem when they try to create a market by bashing conventioal producers with well spun half truths. I hear more about talk about steroids/feed additivies than the anti-biodic resistance. Such as Zilmax/Optiflex. Tyson has gone the way of sucking up to HSUS and I think when the rest of the packers didn't follow suit, it kinda shows to me that they maybe made a mountain out of a mole hill. I don't know much about beta oxitants or what ever they are. I know if you feed Optiflex too long I think it hurts your quality grade. You get enough discounts to lose what you would of gained by feeding it. I try to treat my animals to the best of my ability. How bad the Zilmax issues were IDK. Going off the whole gestation crate issues, the Zilmax thing sure smells like HSUS to me. All of these issues stem back to the consumer being so disconected to agriculture. Their only tie to it is maybe a few memories of what grandpa did when they visited the farm or what they seen on Green Acres and Bonanza. Todays socioty is so health concience its unreal. I really do think say cancer or what ever that people try to blame on our food is something that has been in our enviroment since the begening of time, not man created. Maybe its in our grass/water??? We just live longer and it shows up more often. So then when the niche producers are wanting to gain customers some...not all spin facts to generate a sale. Thus bashing the rest of us. I have no problem if you want to eat something that has only at grass all of its life, but we need to educate the public about what is really what. OK, Ill get off my rant. [/QUOTE]
