The Guardian reports that according to a Bureau of Investigative Journalism study, colistin, an "antibiotic of last resort," is used by the tonnes by Indian farms to make the poultry gain weight a little bit faster. And all of this is perfectly legal. The World Health Organization (WHO) calls antibiotic resistance "a major threat to public health".
Another reason to eat less meat I guess. Like we needed one.

It could use some weather war, TBH.
Egh, I guess nobody's going to come up with a good conspiracy involving the weather war unless I do it myself.
The Chinese are using weather warfare to cause droughts in South Africa (note: this won't work perfectly because of BRICS) and the United States. (Insert hyperlinks to crazy sites here, here, and here. Don't use timecube for this one. That's too crazy.) Hmm, need to show bias against Kal-El and his Murican Way. (Maybe Kara Zor-El can help out, but her feminism has never struck me as evil.) Anyway, the New World Order is doing... things... to destroy our freedumbs! And breed their own race of swarthy, dark-skinned super men! Don't believe it? Habeeb it!
*sigh* I'll try again later. I'm just not feeling inspired right now. Writer's block, etc.
