Report links antibiotics at farms to human deaths

There's a new study officially showing antibiotic use in animals has led to the reduced effectiveness of antibiotics in humans. We may soon live in a "post-antibiotic era".
This is a very real reason to eat good meats, grass fed beef and free range chicken. It's not just some hippy-dippy idea. Mass produced cows, fed a diet of corn to fatten them up for market, need antibiotics because cows bellies get e-coli bacterial infections which is then exposed to the meat as the animal is processed.
Cows that are grass fed don't get e-coli. They don't need the heavy antibiotics.
