DESCRIPTION: The Director-General of the World Health Organization warns that we may be facing an end to modern medicine as we know it thanks in part to the mass feeding of antibiotics to farm animals to accelerate growth.

This issue, perhaps more than any other, lays to bare the power of moneyed interests to undermine public health. Look at the list of endorsers (http://www.ucsusa.org/assets/documents/food_and_agriculture/pamta-endorsers-by-sector.pdf) of legislation to reform this practice, yet the sway of nearly every single medical organization in the United States is no match for the combined might of Big Ag and Big Pharma.
