Antibiotic Resistance Will Kill 300 Million People by 2050

Posted by Health Wire - Tuesday, February 17th, 2015

Three problems with the US food supply that is making food a source of disease rather than optimal health include: the way our food is raised; the way it's processed; and the routine use of hazardous drugs and chemicals.

The United States is one of the few countries in the world that produces and processes food in a way that defies both science and common sense.

As noted in the featured TED lecture, 86 percent of every dollar you spend at the grocery store goes toward paying for processing and marketing of the food. A mere 14 percent goes to the farmer that actually grows the food ingredients in question.

This alone should tell you that that inexpensive processed food item you buy is hardly a bargain. Not only are you getting very little real food, as there are so many fillers and additives tossed in, you're also getting very little in terms of healthy nutrition.

This is important, as your body is not designed to process and thrive on a base of disease causing ingredients like high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated vegetable oil.

EU Balks at US Foodstuffs

A recent Washington Post_¹ article reports that many Europeans are now worried that a new “free-trade” deal (it’s as free as the Patriot Act was patriotic) that will introduce “culinary nightmares” like hormone-treated beef, chlorine-washed chicken, and glyphosate soaked genetically engineered ingredients.

Many other nations have shunned food manufacturing practices that are routinely used in the US, and for good reason.

As noted by one organic French farmer: "In France, food is about pleasure, about taste. But in the United States, they put anything in their mouths. No, this must be stopped." According to the Washington Post:

"In October, tens of thousands of people from 22 E.U. countries took to the streets to protest the deal. The protests included flash mobs in Belgium and a demonstration in Copenhagen that used a 24-foot Trojan horse to symbolize the hidden risks of the trade deal.
Even in Britain — a nation hardly known for the glories of its national cuisine — fear and loathing of modified American foods, and the trade deal in general, appear to be running surprisingly strong...
'It's possibly one of the most dangerous agreements,' the British TV chef Jamie Oliver told the Times of London. He added: 'We don't have hormones in our meat; that's banned. But not over there. We don't have hundreds of poisons and pesticides that have been proven to be carcinogenic. They do.'"

Antibiotic Resistance Will Kill 300 Million People by 2050

Perhaps one of the most objectionable of US food practices is the routine use of antibiotics in livestock for growth-promoting purposes.

Agriculture accounts for about 80 percent of all antibiotics used in the US, so it's a primary source of antibiotic exposure, and it's the continuous use of low dose antibiotics that permits bacteria to survive and become increasingly hardy and drug resistant.

A brand new report ^₂ commissioned by UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, estimates that by 2050 antibiotic resistance will have killed 300 million people; the annual global death toll reaching 10 million.

The global cost for treatment is estimated to hit $100 trillion by 2050. Health law expert Kevin Outterson told Scientific American: ^₃

"You can look at antibiotic resistance as a slow moving global train wreck, which will happen over the next 35 years. If we do nothing, this report shows us the likely magnitude of the costs."

A mere 15 years from now, in the year 2030, antibiotic-resistant disease—if left to spiral out of control—is expected to have killed 100 million. Resistant malaria is a likely candidate as the top killer, while resistant E.coli would account for the greatest chunk of the financial burden, due to its prevalence.

The FDA has admitted since 1977 that this practice is a serious threat.

We have the animal drug manufacturers and a clueless and corrupt federal government for looking the other way and leading the world off a deadly cliff for the sake of profits. Antibiotic-resistant diseases may be the single most deadly threat to our very existence.

Signs Supporting the Worst-Case 'Global Train Wreck' Scenario

The review in no uncertain terms spells out that there is clear and present danger and that the world must act now, lest we be thrown into the pre-antibiotic dark ages when common infections were lethal. Clearly we are already well on our way:

US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention_⁴ (CDC) data show that two million American adults and children become infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria each year.

At least 23,000 Americans die each year as a direct result of an antibiotic-resistant infection.

The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) also attribute nearly 133,000 illnesses each year to contaminated chicken parts.

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) kills more Americans each year than the combined total of emphysema, HIV/AIDS, Parkinson's disease, and homicide._⁵

Between 1973 and 2011, there were 55 antibiotic-resistant foodborne outbreaks in the US, and more than half of them involved pathogens resistant to five or more antibiotics._⁶

Despite evidence that the situation is getting out of control and we're losing even our strongest antibiotics to resistance, between 2008 and 2013, less than one percent of available research funds in the UK and Europe were spent on antibiotic research._⁷

Support the Solution—Demand Meat Without Antibiotics

The issue of antibiotic-resistance is a major reason for choosing organic, pastured meats and other animal products, including eggs and dairy. It is in fact the only animal products I recommend eating. Other reasons for avoiding CAFO meats include animal welfare, environmental health issues, and avoiding GMOs and pesticides, as most of these animals are also fed GMO grains contaminated with the pesticides they're bred to resist or produce internally.

There are some glimmers of hope though. Six of the largest school districts in the US recently decided to switch to antibiotic-free chicken in their cafeterias,_⁸ which will put pressure on meat companies like Tyson, Perdue, and Pilgrim's Pride to adjust their production practices. Earlier this year, Chick-fil-A vowed to switch to antibiotic-free chicken within the next five years.

Chipotle is another franchise that serves responsibly raised beef steaks. Most recently, fast-food chain Carl's Jr. rolled out a burger made with grass-fed, free-range beef, promising to be free of antibiotics, steroids and hormones._⁹ MeatWithoutDrugs.org_¹⁰ has also organized a campaign, calling for Trader Joe's to exclusively source its meat from animals raised without antibiotics. You can sign the petition here. You can also download and print out a flyer and take it with you the next time you visit your local Trader Joe's store.

"As one of the most progressive national retailers, Trader Joe's has already demonstrated care for their customers' health by saying no to GMOs, artificial colors and trans fats in the products they sell. Trader Joe's can also be a leader by helping move the livestock industry in the right direction," the organization says.

What Does the Label Mean?

Of course, when you're looking for antibiotic-free meat, you want to know what to look for. MeatWithoutDrugs lists a number of labels^₁₁ currently in use; some of which are useful, and some of which can be downright deceptive:

100% USDA Organic label offers excellent assurance that antibiotics have not been used at any stage of production.

"No antibiotics administered" and similar labels also offer high assurance that antibiotics have not been used, especially if accompanied by a "USDA process Verified" shield.

"Grass-fed" label coupled with USDA Organic label means no antibiotics have been used, but if the "grass-fed" label appears alone, antibiotics may have been given.

"American Grass-fed" and "Food Alliance Grass-fed" labels indicate that in addition to having been raised on grass, the animal in question received no antibiotics.

The following three labels: "Antibiotic-free," "No antibiotic residues," and "No antibiotic growth promotants," have not been approved by the USDA and may be misleading if not outright fraudulent.

"Natural" or "All-Natural" is completely meaningless and has no bearing on whether or not the animal was raised according to organic principles. "Natural" meat and poultry products can by law receive antibiotics, hormones, and genetically engineered grains, and can be raised in confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs).

Most CAFO Chicken Has Been Washed in Chlorine

The US is also known for a number of processing practices that other nations will not allow. One of them is washing chicken in chlorine, to reduce the presence of potentially pathogenic bacteria (which are there in the first place as a direct result of being raised in a CAFO environment). The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) permits poultry producers to put all poultry through an antimicrobial wash, using chlorine which will create large amounts of dangerous disinfection byproducts and other chemicals to kill pathogens

We already have a problem with antibiotics causing antibiotic-resistant "super germs" when used in the animals' feed, and this likely makes the problem even worse. Workers in the plants have also reported health problems from the chemical washes, including asthma and other respiratory problems. Not to mention it's unclear how much of the chlorine residue remains on the chicken when you eat it. In the European Union (EU), the use of chlorine washes is not only banned, but they won't even accept US poultry that's been treated with these antimicrobial sprays.

Both the USDA and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) claim that giving chickens a chlorine bath is safe, but that's not enough to convince many Germans, who are among the most vocal opponents to a free trade agreement between the US and EU. The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) could generate an estimated $100 billion a year in economic growth for both the US and the EU, but many Germans believe a trade agreement with the US would compromise their food safety and quality. According to Reuters:^₁₂

"The phrase 'Chlorhuehnchen,' or chlorine chicken, has entered the parlance of everyone from taxi drivers to housewives since trade negotiations began a year ago. An Internet search for the term generates thousands of results, bringing up cartoons of animals dumped in vats of chemicals and stabbed with needles. A majority of Germans believe chlorine-washed chicken is a danger to human health despite its successful use in the United States to kill bacteria, according to survey by pollster Forsa."

Factory Chicken Farmer Reveals the Truth About His Operation

The routine use of antibiotics isn't the only problem with factory farmed animals. Some chicken producers have already stopped using antibiotics, but that doesn't make their operations any healthier—for the animal or for you. In the video above, Leah Garces of Compassion in World Farming visits Craig Watts, a contract farmer for Perdue. Dissatisfied with the system, he has taken the bold step to show everyone the reality hiding behind his barn doors. "There's a lot of flaws in the system," he says. "The consumer is being hoodwinked."

His chicken farm raises about 30,000 chickens at a time, and over a six week growing period, it's considered normal for at least 1,000 of them to die. Causes of death include illness, genetic problems, and injuries occurring from overcrowding. The chicks are sent to the contract farmer from Perdue, and the farmer has no control over the health or genetics of the chicks they receive. Their only job is to raise them, and in order to fatten them up faster, the farmers are actually contractually prohibited from giving the flock access to open air and sunshine, because the less the chickens move, and the more they eat, the bigger they grow.

What You Need to Know About the USDA Process Verified Label

Perdue chickens are USDA Process Verified, meaning the following criteria have been fulfilled:

Raised cage-free
All vegetarian diet
No animal byproducts
No antibiotics ever
Humanely raised

After watching the video, it will be quite clear that loopholes abound... They're not caged, but the chickens are crammed in so tightly they still can barely move, forcing them to sit in feces for the entirety of their lives, resulting in open sores. They may also be antibiotic-free, but the chickens Watts raises hardly look healthy. Nor does it seem like a truly humane way of raising chickens. As noted in a report by Wired Magazine,_¹³ Perdue recently agreed to stop using the "humane" claim on one of their labels. Compassion in World Farming says that's not enough:

"Americans think they are buying chickens raised in idyllic pasture when the meat is labeled 'natural.' But what they are actually buying are chickens raised on a bed of feces-filled litter that hasn't been change for years. They are buying chickens bred to get so big, so fast they can't stand on their own two feet. They are buying chickens raised in dimly lit warehouses, who never see the light of day except when coming from the hatchery or heading to slaughter. With an image of green pastures in their mind, shoppers are picking up a package of chicken from a factory farm."

Secrecy Is Necessary to Perpetuate Factory Farming

This kind of "false front" is endemic in the American food supply. Philip Lymbery, an animal-welfare activist and author of the book Farmageddon: The True Cost of Cheap Meat, notes that one of the techniques used to perpetuate factory farming is in fact secrecy. For example, in Europe, eggs from caged hens are marked "battery eggs," whereas in the US, those same eggs are labeled as "farm fresh" or "country fresh."

If you don't know there's a problem, you won't demand change, and there's every reason to suspect that that is also why the food industry is fighting tooth and nail to prevent labeling of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the US, as well as legislation that would prevent them from fraudulently labeling GMOs as "Natural."

Even nutritionists are dissuaded from talking about the environment when making food recommendations—and that directive comes straight from the US Congress. As reported by 91.3 WYSO radio, a government-appointed group of nutrition experts working on an updated set of dietary guidelines decided to collect data on environmental implications of various food choices. But Congress subsequently blocked their efforts by attaching a directive to a spending bill that was recently passed by House and Senate. In it, Congress directs the Obama administration to ignore environmental factors in the revisions of the dietary guidelines.

Other Smokescreens and Fail-Safes

Another type of smoke screen used to keep you in the dark about how your food is grown and processed is to simply change the words in use. For example, the pork industry has recommended hog farmers quit using the word "gestation crate," replacing it with a more humane-sounding "individual maternity pen." Alas, we're still talking about the same exact thing: a two-foot-wide cage where breeding pigs spend nearly their entire lives, unable to even turn around. Other examples include "harvesting" animals rather than "slaughtering" and "environmentally controlled housing" in lieu of the confinement barns they really are.

As a final "fail-safe," several US states also have so-called ag-gag laws in place. The laws, which are being heavily promoted by lobbyists for the meat, egg and dairy industries, effectively prevent anyone from exposing animal cruelty and food-safety issues at CAFOs by:

Making it illegal to take undercover photos or videos
Requiring anyone applying for a job at a CAFO to disclose affiliations with animal rights groups
Requiring activists to hand over undercover videos immediately
Requiring mandatory reporting with extremely short timelines so patterns of abuse cannot be documented

These undercover videos and revelations by whistleblowers are often the only glimpse that Americans get into the world of industrialized agriculture. But the industry knows that the more they see, the more uncomfortable people will become with supporting this broken system.

UN Calls for End to Industrialized Farming

Many still believe that industrial farming, CAFOs, genetic engineering, and heavy chemical use are necessary in order to feed an ever-growing population. But numerous studies and reports have concluded that this simply isn't true. As recently reported by Truth Out:_¹⁴

"In 2013, the United Nations announced that the world's agricultural needs can be met with localized organic farms.^₁₅That's right, we do not need giant monocultures that pour, spray and coat our produce with massive amounts of poisons, only to create mutant pests and weeds while decimating pollinators and harming human health. Don't believe the hype: We do not need genetically modified foods 'to feed the world'...
Organic agriculture, which has gone from a fringe movement to a multibillion industry, can produce high yields and withstand disaster and duress much better than chemical-reliant crops, according to reports coming out of the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movement (IFOAM),_¹⁶ which held its 18th annual world congress in Istanbul this past October. And a 30-year study^₁₇from the Rodale Institute showed that organic farm fields yielded 33 percent more in drought years compared with chemically managed ones."

According to the UN's Trade and Environment Review, shifting away from industrialized farming toward more bio-diverse, ecological, and localized farming practices can address a number of pressing issues, including food security, poverty, gender inequality, and climate change. The answer, they say, lies in a localized food system that promotes consumption of regional produce, because smaller, more diversified farms employ greater numbers of people, and produce more food on less land. They also use less water, and by using ecological principles, they don't need to use nearly as many chemicals, if any at all.

The New Ethics of Food Consumption

Conscientious consumers are making a dent in the system, albeit slowly, and while facing fierce opposition with every small step. Case in point, the story of Hilliker's Ranch, where a brand new and far more humane system has been installed. Here, 8,000 chickens are raised in aviary roosts, where each animal has a private matted space. A conveyor belt shuttles away the waste, while another collects the eggs. As noted by the Christian Science Monitor:_¹⁸

"The conscience of consumers increasingly aware of the treatment of animals that become their burgers and chicken fingers has thrown a wrench in the gears of industrial farming, which has raced since the end of World War II to raise and slaughter animals faster and more efficiently, without much regard for their welfare.
There are people on all sides of the issue – farmers, distributors, government regulators, animal welfare advocates, and research scientists – who concur that animal welfare is now an established and growing ethic in the US production of food. The view that food animals are simply a commodity is yielding increasingly – albeit haltingly – to the perception that these animals are also sentient beings deserving of more-humane treatment."

According to a recent poll,_¹⁹ 56 percent of Americans say they're willing to pay more for eggs, knowing they came from hens raised with enough space to stretch their limbs; 49 percent are also willing to pay more for bacon, ham, or pork from pigs raised with enough space to move. Clearly, most people do not want animals to suffer unnecessarily in order for us to eat, and as awareness of industry practices grows, I'm hopeful we'll see more changes come about.

Major US School Districts Announce Switch to Antibiotic-Free Chicken

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/12/23/antibiotic-free-chicken.aspx

December 23, 2014 | 32,111 views

By Dr. Mercola

With the advent of confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), which can house tens of thousands of animals in a factory-style environment, the price of chicken dropped dramatically.¹
Chicken quickly became the cheapest meat available in the US, and as a result, consumption has doubled since 1970. Unfortunately, experience makes it clear that it’s virtually impossible to mass-produce clean, safe, optimally nutritious foods at rock bottom prices.
Ninety-nine percent of all chicken sold in the US are raised in CAFOs, and sickness and poor nutrition is the norm for animals raised in these inhumanely cramped warehouse facilities.
CAFO chickens are also typically fed genetically engineered (GE) corn and soybeans, which is a far cry from their natural diet of seeds, green plants, insects, and worms. Processing byproducts such as chicken feathers and other animal parts can also be added to the feed—all of which exacerbates disease.
To control the still-inevitable spread of disease from stress, overcrowding, lack of vitamin D (as CAFO chickens may never see the light of day) and an unnatural diet, the animals are routinely fed antibiotics.

CAFO Chicken Promotes Drug-Resistant Disease

Agricultural use of antibiotics poses a direct threat to human health by promoting the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant disease—both in animals and in humans. Antibiotics also contaminate the environment when they run off into lakes, rivers, aquifers and drinking water, further increasing the risk of drug-resistant bacteria.
According to a landmark “Antibiotic Resistance Threat Report” published by the CDC,² two million Americans become infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria each year, and at least 23,000 of them die as a direct result of those infections.
Factory farmed chicken is by far the greatest culprit when it comes to food poisoning. Data collected by the federal agency called NARMS (National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System reveals that 39 percent of raw chicken parts are contaminated with antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) attribute nearly 133,000 illnesses each year to contaminated chicken parts. Remember, 80 percent of the antibiotics used in the US are actually fed to farm animals.

One US School District Decides to Switch to Antibiotic-Free Chicken

While many are still unfamiliar with the hazards of CAFO chicken and other meats, awareness is definitely growing. Case in point: six of the largest school districts in the US have decided to switch to antibiotic-free chicken in their cafeterias.
The school districts in question are: New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Miami-Dade County, and Orlando County. It’s a bold move, which is putting pressure on meat companies like Tyson, Perdue, and Pilgrim’s Pride to adjust their production practices. As reported by Reuters:³

“The move... is intended to protect children's health amid concerns about the rise of so-called ‘superbugs,’ bacteria that gain resistance to conventional medicines, school officials said...
The six districts, which served at least 2.6 million meals last year, hope to limit costs by combining their purchasing power...
School officials are demanding the change after meeting with industry experts and ‘really understanding how this affects the human body overall and our future with antibiotic resistance,’ said Leslie Fowler, executive director of nutrition support services for the Chicago Public Schools.”

While it may take years before the new standard is fully implemented, it’s certainly a decision that will drive the food industry in the right direction. And, it’s worth noting that the school districts didn’t wait for the federal government to approve new antibiotic-free industry standards. Instead, they got it done by banding together and simply demanding the change.

Fast Food Chains Are Also Making Changes

Positive changes are also afoot in other areas. Earlier this year, Chick-fil-A vowed to switch to antibiotic-free chicken within the next five years. Chipotle is another franchise that serves responsibly raised beef steaks.
Most recently, restaurant chain Carl's Jr. announced it intends to become the first major fast-food chain to offer burgers made with grass-fed, free-range beef, promising to be free of antibiotics, steroids, and hormones. The “All-Natural Burger” was rolled out on December 17 at all 1,150 of its restaurants. As reported by USA Today:⁴

“The strategic move by the regional chain with mostly West Coast locations comes at a time fast-food chains are racing to improve the perceived quality of their food...
‘Our objective has never been to tell people what to eat, but to serve them what they want to eat,’ says Andy Puzder, CEO at CKE Restaurants, which owns the Carl's Jr. and Hardee's chains.”

The grass-fed beef for Carl’s Jr. restaurants will be imported from Australia, which isn’t a major surprise. Most of the grass-fed beef sold in the US is actually imported, primarily from Australia and New Zealand⁵ Chipotle’s grass-fed offerings also come from Australia.⁶
According to one estimate based off of the USDA’s import/export data,^7,^8,⁹ as much as 85 percent of grass-fed beef sold in the US may be imported, although it’s virtually impossible to ascertain a definite number.
Hopefully, as the market begins to shift, American suppliers of grass-fed beef will become better able to meet demand and compete with Australia’s lower prices.

Organic, Pastured Chicken Is Your Best and Safest Alternative

True free-range chickens (and eggs) come from hens that roam freely outdoors on a pasture, where they can forage for their natural diet, which includes seeds, green plants, insects, and worms. Your best source for pastured chicken, beef, and other animal products, is a local farmer that allows his animals to forage freely outdoors.
To see how this looks in the real world, please watch my video (above) with organic farmer Joel Salatin, which was recorded on his Polyface Farm in Virginia. Joel and I recently presented at the ACRES conference in Columbus earlier this month.
Shifting into a socially responsible, smaller-scale system where independent producers and processors focus on providing food for their local and regional markets would go a long way toward improving food safety and nutrition. It would also have a positive impact on the environment. Below are a number of suggestions for how you can take affirmative action to protect your family’s health, and by so doing, promote the creation of a safer, more humane, and more nutritious food system for everyone:

Buy local products whenever possible. Otherwise, buy organic and fair-trade products.

Support restaurants and food vendors that buy locally produced food.

Avoid genetically engineered (GMO) foods. Buying certified organic ensures your food is non-GM.

Cook, can, ferment, dry, and freeze. Return to the basics of cooking, and pass these skills on to your children.

Grow your own garden, or volunteer at a community garden. Teach your children how to garden and where their food comes from.

Volunteer and/or financially support an organization committed to promoting a sustainable food system.

Get involved in your community. Influence what your child eats by engaging the school board. Effect city policies by learning about zoning and attending city council meetings. Learn about the federal policies that affect your food choice, and let your congressperson know what you think.

Shop at your local farmers market, join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), or buy from local grocers and co-ops committed to selling local foods. The following organizations can help you locate farm-fresh foods in your local area that has been raised in a humane, sustainable manner:

Local Harvest: This Web site will help you find farmers' markets, family farms, and other sources of sustainably grown food in your area where you can buy produce, grass-fed meats, and many other goodies.
