FDA: Cattle Antibiotic Moves Forward Despite Fears of Human Risk
March 5th, 2007Madness. Or… “Consumers” are being softened up for the kill off event. Take your pick.
Via: Washington Post:
The government is on track to approve a new antibiotic to treat a pneumonia-like disease in cattle, despite warnings from health groups and a majority of the agency’s own expert advisers that the decision will be dangerous for people.
The drug, called cefquinome, belongs to a class of highly potent antibiotics that are among medicine’s last defenses against several serious human infections. No drug from that class has been approved in the United States for use in animals.
The American Medical Association and about a dozen other health groups warned the Food and Drug Administration that giving cefquinome to animals would probably speed the emergence of microbes resistant to that important class of antibiotics, as has happened with other drugs. Those super-microbes could then spread to people.
Antibiotics and HORMONES fed to cattle:
I don’t care what kind – have led to children having bodies of adults (through drinking milk) WAY before they are ready to handle it. Imagine mindset of 13 year old in a 21 year old body. Aren’t 13 year hormones enough on their own? Oh yes. We more shit in the food we eat. Bring it on. Kill Off? Most definitely.
This friendly health bringing message has been brought to you by the The Take VIOX, LIPITOR and Fuck (U) and Death Administration (FDA).
I used to work for the USDA, and this is all kinds of wrong on so many levels. My old colleagues are under tremendous pressure from above to tow the corp/party line (google for news stories about how USDA employees have been instructed to talk glowingly about the war on terror in every paper and public discourse, for instance), and many are leaving. It’s all starting to unravel.
