From: Sidney Goodman

The amount of antibiotics used in U.S. agriculture is abusively 
large.  This practice creates strains of microbes which are resistant
to antibiotics needed to cure human diseases.  

We have already reached the point where many patients are no 
no longer treatable, due to agricultural short sightedness. 

What is being done presently, and what will you do in the future to stop 
this disaster which is already happening?
