New York Times Article on Farm Animal Antibiotics and Congress

Nicholas Kristoff wrote a great article for today's Sunday Times. Here is the URL: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/12/opinion/12kristof.html

He makes a good point about animals often growing in filthy conditions, needing antibodies, developing resistant strains, and passing them to us. Lobbyists protect this. I say spend money for the animals to live in humane conditions and give antibodies only if necessary. Do research on how this affects us and provide for cautionary measures.
