Most of us are aware they've been putting antibiotics in farm animals since about 1946--what some may not know is: since then there is mass overproduction & the meds are used not only for growth anymore, but to allow the animals to survive the unsanitary conditions they're raised in. Modern day farms breed bacteria, disease...these animals are under constant stress=suppressing their immune function. An alarming 80% of these meds are not even digested in the livestock & distributed into the air & soil in their waste... what does that mean... it means NEW bacteria develops & the strain becomes resistant to common antibiotics... HENCE why antibiotics are not working like they were developed to. What can you do:
 
1. Eat organic
2. Eat more fresh veggies & fruit... Limit meat (esp. those raised in these conditions)
3. Only take antibiotics when absolutely necessary (bacteria infections)
Americans health is declining... it doesn't take a genius to know why. Do your part to keep your family well & spread your knowledge to others...
