Antibiotic-resistant bacteria found in meat


www.desmoinesregister.com
Meat and poultry sold in supermarkets may be widely contaminated with staph bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, scientists found.

Researchers tested beef, chicken, pork and turkey from stores in five U.S. cities and found drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in one in every four samples.

Elsewhere in the article it stated 47% so between the OP and the paper there is some sloppy reporting going on.

It is still a problem nevertheless. My personal opinion is that all factory farms should to be outlawed. I would rather pay a little more up front; even if I had to eat meat less often, than consume this biologically and chemically poisoned and genetically modified franken-food.

Small farms with sensible, organic, sustainable practices produce the best meat.

Uh year sorry about that, should me 25%. Note to self, never post breaking news late at night.

If a mod could edit the OP to 25% much appreciated.

Right on. I think you have it down pat.

Nothing is going to be perfect in this world where evolution and adaptation can happen very quickly; especially in the realm of micro-organisms. I think that is where modern science misses the mark.

For the many thousands of years that human beings have been on this earth we managed to survive without anti-biotics, or sterilization. What we did was learn to live in harmony with nature; and that meant utilizing the tools nature made available -- such as healthy bacteria and yeasts.

Our foods were "preserved" by drying, salting, and fermenting. Milk turned into yoghurt or cheese lasts longer than fresh. The healthy bacteria help fight off the unhealthy ones -- read up about Kefir.

Now we take the blunt approach of trying to kill of everything and end up with super bugs. Once again, it is the large chemical companies that have brainwashed the public into thinking these things are necessary just so they (the companies) can make a buck.

What they and we are doing is destroying our world as we've known it for thousands of years in the process.

You're so right! I should find and post an article about a woman in Germany, who was a huge McDonalds fan. She died and after several years they had to exhumate her body. She looked as she was alive lol No changes. No need for embalming.
