DESCRIPTION: The level of multi-drug antibiotic resistant bacteria contamination is compared between meat from animals raised conventionally and certified organic meat from animals raised without being fed antibiotics.

I addressed this issue previously in videos such as:

• Past the Age of Miracles: Facing a Post-Antibiotic Age (
• Lowering Dietary Antibiotic Intake (
• More Antibiotics In White Meat or Dark Meat? (
• Meat Mythcrushers (
• Drug Residues in Meat (

Isn’t it illegal to sell meat contaminated with dangerous bacteria? Unfortunately no. See why in my video Salmonella in Chicken & Turkey: Deadly But Not Illegal ( Reminds me of the case I wrote about in Supreme Court case: meat industry sues to keep downed animals in food supply (
