It's mostly due to the overuse of antibiotics on these factory farms. *
Growth hormones? *What the hey, we need 400 lb. football players. *The

So, how do you suggest we improve the situation without going to Tofu?
People gotta' eat, right?


Raise animals like they have for generations. Some cultures still are
thankful for their bounty, and let their animals live in at least some
