Fyi - agriculture is the dominant reason by far for antibiotic resistance. A cow's meat was resistant to NINE DIFFERENT ANTIBIOTICS...NINE! )*!#%*&#&$

Just think of how many different antibiotics went into that beef then....

Luckily everyone in the story is just fine!

That is just insane! That's why I buy from the farmers who do it right, both for the people and the animals. I wonder if the people doing that eat the meat from their cows.

That's why if you can afford it it's best to buy organic or local.
