Back to antibiotics.  This paper is from the year 2000 and Ohio is included int the study.  I find paragraph 2 interesting on a couple of levels.  First, the amount of antibiotics produced and second, the amount is nearly equal for man and beast. This article gives the numbers an even bigger boost.

This is a nice website that explains a bit about the effects of antibiotics but does it in a polite, gentle, not in your face be a vegan or else, way.

There's no need to bring up Grand Lake St. Mary's this week when we've got issues in NE and Central Ohio competing in the "which waterway has the most contaminants" game being played.  This was all over state news in October.

The NY Times published this article earlier this year regarding the ban on antibiotics for food animals in Europe..  The use of antibiotics has been a concern for many people and just to throw horse meat back into the mix they've put a ban on the use of antibiotics regarding this meat also. Yay for the horses.  If done legally they get to linger in feed lots for up to 6 months while the drugs clear their system. 

Just another day in the corporate world of drugs and CAFO's.
