“Flies and\u00a0Cockroaches\u00a0carry drug\u00a0resistant\u00a0bacteria from Factory Farms<\/a>” you can read all about the issue along with links verifying their information. \u00a0There is a pop up, a practice which I hate BTW, \u00a0when you first load the page but once you close that window you are free to read uninterrupted.<\/p>\nHere is a blurb from the article:
\n“And we know that a kind of antibiotic-resistant staph infection called MRSA now kills more people than AIDS — and infects people who never set foot in a hospital, which is the site where MRSA is thought to have originated. We also know, due to the stellar work of Iowa State University researcher Tara Smith, that pigs in confined animal feedlot operations, and the workers who tend them, routinely carry MRSA strains.<\/em>
\n
\n<\/em>
\nWe also know that, by the FDA’s own reckoning, meat on grocery store shelves is routinely infected by pathogens resistant to multiple antibiotics (again, McKenna’s work brought the FDA’s perhaps intentionally obscure report to light).<\/em>
\n
\n<\/em>
\nAnd now we know of yet another means by which antibiotic-resistant nasties can make their way from meat factories into the broader community: through the cockroaches and flies drawn to the titanic amounts of manure produced on factory farms”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"People who live by Factory Farms are prone to Sickness, Here’s why: An EcoInteractive post this morning brought another factory farm issue to my attention. \u00a0The fact that\u00a0flies and cockroaches\u00a0spread disease to the communities\u00a0living around…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[87],"tags":[77,109,116,165,314,241],"class_list":["post-1721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fitness","tag-factory-farms","tag-h1n1","tag-health","tag-mrsa","tag-earth-wise","tag-swine-flu"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1qEFP-rL","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1312,"url":"https:\/\/bodynsoil.com\/blog\/2011\/05\/netflix-the-future-of-food-say-no-to-gmo\/","url_meta":{"origin":1721,"position":0},"title":"Netflix: The Future of Food & Say No to GMO","author":"Bodynsoil","date":"May 8, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"We watching Netflix often, especially for documentaries!
