Fewer Drugs in Food!!

25 Drug Companies to Phase out Animal Antibiotics from ABC
"Citing a potential threat to public health, the agency in December asked 26 companies to voluntarily stop labeling drugs important for treating human infection as acceptable for animal growth promotion. The FDA did not name the one company that has not agreed to withdraw or revise its drugs. The companies will either withdraw the drugs from animal use completely or revise them so they would only be able to be used with a veterinarian's prescription."
Wow -- some genuinely interesting original reporting from one of the networks.  How novel.  Oops, sorry. The story is actually from the Associated Press.
