every time I hear about the antibiotic crisis and the implication is made that people taking prescription antibiotics and irresponsible doctors are causing it. We DO need education programs but we need to educate to the fact that 80% of antibiotics go to animals, not people, and mostly to fatten them for corporate profits, not to protect them from bacteria. We're not TAKING our antibiotics. We're EATING them!
