It’s a start – the FDA is recommending fewer antibiotics in meat.

Meat producers should use certain antibiotics only to assure animal health and stop using the drugs to increase production and promote growth, the Food and Drug Administration said Monday.

The recommendation to cut back on the use of antimicrobial drugs comes amid rising concern that extensive use in animals contributes to antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria afflicting humans.

Thank you very much from one who is pretty sure the end of the world as we know it is going to come on the backs of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
