Food for Sale

Sir, I'm having trouble uploading our group PSA video. I've tried may times but but it's still not working

ANTIBIOTIC OVERUSE

Pigs that got an anti biotic were shown to need 10 to 15 percent less feed to

reach the same weight as pigs on regular diets. Since feed can account for as

much as 70% percent of total animal production costs, the discovery was a

windfall for farmers. It meant they could produce more meat for

less money, resulting in fatter profit.

STOP ANTIBIOTIC OVERUSE! An antibiotic resistance disease IS a major man-made problem. 

Use of antibiotic to a surge in drug resistant germs, or superbugs, that rended antibiotics witch powerless against deadly infections.

The bacon you had for breakfast is the center of a 35-year debate over antibiotics.

Do you know what is in the chicken you and your family are eating?

Your chicken could contain "ROXARSONE", an organic form of arsenic.

SO WHAT!!?

ROXARSONE contains inorganic arsenic, which is a corcinogen ( directly involve in causing cancer ).

"OLD McDONALD is a bio-engineer now. Chickens are given Roxarsone kept inside with no sunlight and are crowded so that they cannot move and will grow faster" says Dr. Oz

The same life-saving drugs that are prescribed to treat everything

from ear infection to tuberculosis in human also are used to fatten the animals that the supply the chicken, beef and pork we eat everyday.

Putting antibiotic in animal's food creates antibiotic-resistant germs in animals

that can cause deadly diseases in in human. Farmers say they have to feed the the drugs to animals to keep them healthy and meet people's growing appetite.

COW SUPPOSE TO GRASS NOT CORN!!!!!!!!!!!

According to statistics, More than 70% of the antibiotics used in

United States are given to livestock animals for no medical reason.

Meaning, the antibiotics that are supposed to be a treatment for the diseases

are being used as a tool on a typical farm in this generation. Also, antibiotics

are used to treat animals with illnesses to make up for the poor hygienic condition.

These bring danger to the livestock animals because the more frequent they use it

the more antibiotic-resistant germs are growing thus exposing the livestock animals further

to a disease that could potentially kill or harm the animal. The disease that occurs in one

animal could be passed on to other species especially in a crowded place inside the farm.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are multiplying rapidly because antibiotics are always used

even if not needed. Discovery of another disease that resist the antibiotics are more likely

to develop which is a big problem since the effectiveness of the antibiotics are getting

weaker or worse would no longer work. Also, there are some antibiotics that could kill

non harmful bacteria that the part of an animal needs which results in malfunctions of

normal body regulation. So what, right? These examples of misuse of antibacterial

could kill the animals and immunize the bacteria from antibiotics. This results in

unhealthy livestock animals that the people buy in grocery stores. In the present,

majority do not base their food (meat, pork, and poultry) on the benefits that it

could provide them but rather base it on its bulk. This is what an article has to

say about the growing concern of the people about the misuse of antibiotics to animals,

“Farmers say they have to feed the drugs to animals to keep them healthy and meet

America's growing appetite for cheap meat. But public health advocates argue that

the practice breeds antibiotic-resistant germs in animals that can cause deadly diseases

in humans.” This means that not only animals suffer from antibiotics overuse that was

applied to them; humans are also affected by it. There are also bacteria in animals that could pass on to humans (Salmonella for example, becomes resistant to a certain antibiotic; it is dangerous for us humans and could actually exterminate us)

This is from my group notes.
