Antibiotics in Meat Factories

Basically, meat factories have found that the use of antiobiotics on animals creates cheaper, more plentiful meat for consumers as it promotes growth and prevents diseases. However, health experts claim that these antibacteria create "monster bugs" for both animals and humans. Farmers are upset because they argue that there is not enough substantial scientific evidence to induce action at this point. Scientists have also claimed that these strands are hard to study, as "antibody A, used in Cow A, caused Infection Z in Human Z," is difficult to follow. The article seems extremely unbiased, presenting both sides logically and providing direct quotations fairly and in an objective manner. For now, FDA has simply promoted guidelines, not regulations, in relation to this concern.
