They should make a vaccine for that.

You do your job, let scientists do theirs. The consensus, including science, is that your dinner table is safe from those conspiracy theories you're worried about.

You're a conspiracy theorist.

You say antibiotics are unsuitable for foodstuffs, the government says it's an acceptable practice. Who's correct? Highly doubtful it's you.

Gee, it seems that scientists are kind of concerned about this. Are you done yet?

It's something horrible to think about and I hope we never have to do that but in this situation we may have to.

Try putting the responsibility where it really lies.

ahh...

"Anti-Bacterial" and "Antibiotic" are two completely different things. Bleach is anti-bacterial, but it isn't pumped into people as an antibiotic for obvious reasons. Antibiotics are pretty much useless outside of a living hosts, that is why it isn't in soap.

Reagan was right about that one, even if he hardly practiced what he preached. If the government really cared they would have banned antibiotics in meats a long time ago. Instead, they sided with the beef industry and created a problem.
