Friday, May 1

There now is a solid link between the American pig farms and the outbreak of this A-H1N1 strain to humans. But it really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that has been tracking the health of our foods.

Even salmon suffer (get sick) when farmed in tightly controlled pens.

All of these sick animals result in farmers using wide-spectrum antibiotics on a regular basis. As a result, we may see more viruses and bacteria that are resistant to common antibiotics, as we end up consuming the meat from these sick and over-prescribed animals.
