Antibiotics

This article provides good information on misuse or overuse of antibiotics given to animals and how they are effecting humans. I do believe that antibiotics given to the animals to help them grow faster can effect the animals and the humans and of course as mention in this article they had many illness cases due to this matter. We never really know what we are consuming with all the antibiotics given to the animals for different reasons. However, as this article mentions there are solutions to fix this. FDA has to be more strict about what should be given to animals.

  1. I do think it is a bit scary that we have no idea what has been given to the animals that we are consuming. I definitely agree that regulation of antibiotics should be enforced.

  2. I agree with what you have said. I dont think that antibiotics are regulated enough in the animals. I think that they need to be watched more carefully if not eliminated altogether.
