This is episode one 100, and this week, I am continuing the theme of what’s in your food. Today I’m going to be talking about antibiotics. Because did you know that the greatest use of antibiotics on the planet is actually antibiotic use in livestock and poultry, not only to prevent illness and infection but also to fatten them up faster because farmers are getting paid by the weight of the usable meat that they are able to sell. What happens then, these antibiotics are then in the meat of the animal and you’re buying that meat, and then those antibiotics are getting into your body.
