Good news (for science nerds, at least)
The Obama administration is moving towards banning the use of antibiotics in healthy farm animals. The measure is unlikely to pass given the farm industry's opposition (even though Danish pig farmers have shown that you can significantly reduce the use of antibiotics at low cost.) Despite that, it's a welcome sign that Congressional hearings are being held and that the issue is being elevated. Improving farming practices is a win-win-win for humans, animals, and the environment.
