[QUOTE="Kell-inKY, post: 1306344, member: 23511"] I mean no offense, but this is getting way off topic. Brute, I would agree with you 100% if it were about consumer choice, however: From what I read, this is not about consumers wanting antibiotic free beef (or chicken etc.), this is about our overuse of antibiotics creating resistant strains. This is not some made up boogeyman, this is a real problem that needs addressing. If people would stop feeding this stuff on their own it would be great, but I have as much faith in that as people not going to the doctor and getting a prescription for a virus. from the original article: [i]According to the Centers for Disease Control, every year in the U.S., at least 2 million people are infected by bacteria resistant to antibiotic treatment, and more than 20,000 people die from these infections. [b]The directive was put in place to mandate judicious antibiotic use in livestock to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistant bacteria.[/b][/i] [/QUOTE]
