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.

You can get B12 from "nooch" (nutritional yeast) I heard. I dated a vegetarian for a while once and while she wasn't vegan, she was close enough that her doctor was giving her the kind of health advice usually reserved for vegans. Mushrooms supposedly also have it, but IIRC you'd need to eat like an entire kg of them a day.

No need for any exotic yeast sources. Beer is notably high in B12, though I am sure that for best health you really should brew your own. That is my story and I am sticking to it, I brew as a nutritional supplement.
