from the chicken-not-so-little dept.

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.

    Why don't you just say 1) you're a conspiracy nut, but the conspiracy isn't nutty enough/too anti-American and 2) you hope all the dark-skinned people die because somehow "they deserve it?"

    You waste a lot of words and electrons just to anti-virtue signal to everyone what a complete walking trash fire of a human being you are.

    He also seems to be missing the whole hepatitus issue out on the west coast, when plastic bags were banned and public bathrooms were not accessible to homeless people, causing them to shit in the streets. many of them were drug users and have liver infections and ended up spreading illness due to the storm sewer water treatment not taking widespread distribution of disease like that; the sewage system was more for that.

    And so the streets actually could make people ill because of rich people not wanting homeless people around, the feel good about the environment crowd banning bags, knowing what is discussed here--that you can't expect companies to williingly stop using them or freon or antibiotics or pollute into the sky and water if it saves them money. So bags were banned, and the homeless people having no where to go-- literally.

    Probably when the antibiotics stop working, it won't be just the brown people that gets sick. unless white superiority people have a means to prevent illness simply by being superior.
