Question
Antibiotics are widely used in raising livestock in the US. Visit the websites below for the general public and learn a little more about this practice.
Denmark has chosen to significantly restrict the use of antibiotics in livestock and can be seen as a potential model for viewing that impact on livestock industry, but Denmark is a small country with different economic constructs than in the US. Although there is controversy about the impact that this practice has in the development of antibiotic resistance of significance to the human population, it is enough to raise concerns and promote discussion about what, if any, action should be taken in the US.
POST your response to the following questions, along with a rationale that includes some evidence to support your opinion (reference where your information comes from).
1) After looking at some of the arguments on both sides, do you think a US ban is warranted?
2) Would you be willing to pay more for your food as a result?
3)Is animal use of antibiotics being scapegoated, or is it likely to be a significant factor in continuing emergence of resistance?
