A Small Step to Reduce the Overuse of Antibiotics in Farmed Animals
Once again the issue of overuse of antibiotics in farmed animals is making headlines because of the concerns this overuse might promote the development of drug-resistant bacteria. In response, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plans to restrict cephalosporins, a family of antibiotics commonly used to treat livestock, starting April 5. To many concerned people, this move is long overdue.

This is why is imperative that consumers become the check and balance of such industries by withdrawing their support.
