Well said. However... > "Agriculture only uses a few antibiotics, ones that are cheap in bulk, nontoxic to livestock, and can be mixed with feed..." The reality is much worse. Factory meat producers will abuse any antibiotic if they are allowed, even the most powerful last-resort antibiotics. For example, many poultry producers were routinely mixing fluoroquinolones into their feed until very recently. The practice was outlawed in 2005, but there is good evidence that some poultry producers continue to do it in violation of the law: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/04/120405131431.htm http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/04/120405131431.ht...
