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.

    But what about all that wonderful food served in Indian restaurants. Without Indians there would be no Indian restaurants. I guess the realDonaldTrump is only fixated on BigMacs.

    They make terrific American food all over the world. Japan, they have a great cheeseburger, they named a cheeseburger after me. The Trumpburger. Such an honor!
