Farmed Animals Are On Drugs
This is a very informative article that exposes the dangers of feeding drugs to factory farmed animals, so they can survive the confinement, mutilations, disease and unsanitary conditions in factory farms. Although China has been on the spotlight for their short-sighted practices in animal agriculture such as giving the antiviral Tamiflu to poultry, the U.S. really doesn’t lag far behind. Just in 2011, 29.9 millions of antibiotics were used in livestock.

http://science.time.com/2013/02/12/why-meat-in-china-and-the-u-s-has-a-drug-problem/?hpt=hp_bn18Humanity has created the perfect vessels to create, rotate and combine viruses and bacteria; they are called factory farms. These intensive operations bring suffering to God’s animals, disease to humans and profit to the corporations that owned them. Aligning our values and beliefs with our food choices might be one of the best decisions we could ever make, because such a simple but critical decision, affect all of God’s Creation. Christians should lead by example.
