The case for organic meat.........

Drug-resistant infections lurk in meat we eat - Infectious diseases- msnbc.com


It's 2 pages long so I won't cut and paste....but it's a good read. It's not talked about in this article, but the reason they have to dope up these animals in the first place with anti's is that their immune systems are too compromised by diets being fed to them and by their living conditions. ANimals fed grass, what they fucking evolved in nature to eat.....have immune systems that can fight off these infectious diseases.

Interesting in the article is the economics argument the farmer makes. So the choice, according to farmer jim is, keep meat cheap and continue to keep pumping animals with antibiotics that are one day going to create a super virus. If a pork chop costs 1.69....make it an even $2 and feed it some fucking grass.........fuck sake.

Would converting to organic meat cost more than $0.266 per day?

If we cut down on our meat consumption so that farmers could rotate grazing land, yes......it would probably be that much. Now quit bringing up other threads.

If we cut down on meat consumption that will reduce greenhouse gases, negate Al Gore and put tree huggers out of work. THINK OF THE ECONOMY!!!!!

viruses are unaffected by antibiotics. they mutate naturally.

I just hope the antibiotic-driven supervirus doesn't combine forces with the massive inflation created by Ronald Reagan and wipe us all out.
