freeflir29 0 #8 November 26, 2003 It wasn't anti-meat at all. I t was anti "Factory Farm" I'm down with that. West Germany used to have some of the best pork in the world. Why....because it was grown on small family farms. The size was heavily regulated by the government. When the wall came down the factory farms from East Germany took over and it hasn't been the same since. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #9 November 26, 2003 >Sounds to me like e vegetarian put this together. I seriously doubt it. It is more small family farm type of advertising. Coming from a community that had a factory chicken farm move in, lets just say I don't look at food the same after seeing how they ran the operation.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeremyneas 0 #11 November 26, 2003 I'm a meatatarian, I don't believe in the senseless slaughter of innocent plants. To make the effort, and go to those particular stores and pay inflated prices for meat that supports small farms which would probably make you sick for a short while due to the missing 'drugs and such', doesn't seem in my best interest. What these propaganda...people don't want you to consider is....shhhhh...come closer...closer...closer... closer... closer... THE POPULATION IS RISING So what your saying is... More people...need more food. Farmers just barely getting by, need to save money. We found a solution...and their answer is to produce less food with smaller farms. I'm totally baffled by it. Someone enlighten me!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, the "drugs and such" in your food will sicken you, not make you better. Bovine hormones have sort of unpredictable results on humans, and getting constant low doses of antibiotics makes the bacteria in your body immune to antibiotics. Would suck to get pneumonia, only to find out that antibiotics don't work on you any more, eh? >We found a solution...and their answer is to produce less food with smaller farms. You can produce more food with factory farms, but you also then have to deal with antibiotics in your food (which has a _lot_ of problems) a higher incidence of food-borne disease, and higher rates of sickness and mortality from fecal matter in your water. So unless you're into fecal matter in your water, there's something to be said for smaller farms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quack 0 #15 November 26, 2003 Antibiotic use is regulated in food animals. If residues are found that exceed the Maximum Residual Levels (MRL) then those animals do not enter the food chain. I'm not personally an advocate of antibiotic use in animals, for the reasons of antimicrobial resistance. But given that it is a practice of producers of food animals at least there are procedures in place to deal with it. But you have to understand, mental illness is like cholesterol.

billvon 3,107 #16 November 26, 2003 >If residues are found that exceed the Maximum Residual Levels >(MRL) then those animals do not enter the food chain. Right, but even legal amounts increase antibiotic resistance in humans. For example, the use of the antibiotic avoparcin in food animals has been linked to the appearance of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in human intestines. This is particularly troubling because vanc is the "last ditch" antibiotic doctors use when no other antibiotic will work. Getting sick with a vanc-resistant strain of something can be deadly (literally.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quack 0 #17 November 26, 2003 Yes, and that is why avoparcin is not used in most countries (except Australia, and that may change soon). VRE is certainly a major concern, but let's not forget the contributions of the general public who demand antibiotics for what is usually a viral infection. And the irresponsible physicians who prescribe them. A lot of research is being done on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in food animals for this reason. Unfortunately it takes more time sort it out than it took for us to create AMR problems in the first place. But you have to understand, mental illness is like cholesterol.
