Mmmmm. Antibiotic Resistant Meat Infections.

Mother Jones reports on the disgusting condition of our factory farmed meat:

Here is a document the USDA doesn't want you to see. It's what the agency calls a "technical review"—nothing more than a USDA-contracted researcher's simple, blunt summary of recent academic findings on the growing problem of antibiotic-resistant infections and their link with factory animal farms. The topic is a serious one. A single antibiotic-resistant pathogen, MRSA—just one of many now circulating among Americans—now claims more lives each year than AIDS.

Imagine all of the lost healthcare revenue if they actually gave us well-produced, clean meats that didn't kill us.

Good morning!
