MoJo’s Tom Philpott reports:
On Dec. 22, while even the nerdiest observers were thinking more about Christmas plans than food-safety policy, the FDA snuck a holiday gift to the meat industry into the Federal Register. The agency announced it had essentially given up any pretense of regulating antibiotic abuse on factory farms, at least for the time being.
Meanwhile, 25 percent of all beef, chicken, pork, and turkey tested positive for antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to a recent study by the Translational Genomics Research Institute.
One of the reasons I’ve decided to go back to eating from a plant based diet.
