How antibiotics are being used to compensate for the overcrowded, stressful conditions on industrial farms and how that's creating superbugs that threaten public health.
Lance Price is a public health researcher who works at the interface between science and policy to address the growing crisis of antibiotic resistance. In the laboratory, Dr. Price uses cutting-edge DNA sequencing to trace the origins of new antibiotic-resistant pathogens. By analyzing the genomes of bacteria found in humans, food, and livestock, Dr. Price and his colleagues have traced the origins of new superbugs to industrial livestock production. Dr. Price and his colleagues have also begun to broaden the scope of foodborne disease to include urinary tract infections caused by foodborne E. coli.
In the policy arena, Dr. Price works with grassroots organizations, NGOs, and policymakers to develop science-based policies to curb antibiotic abuse in food-animal production and stem the emergence of new superbugs. Dr. Price's work was selected by Discover Magazine as one of the top 100 science stories of 2012. His research has also been covered by top-tier media around the world, including the BBC, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Scientific American, Men's Journal, and Fitness Magazine, among others.

How messed up is it that endangering human health is okay as long as it's in the name of supplying cheap meat in high abundance, meat that is not even essential for health. And yet people are always complaining that vegans don't care enough about human issues...smh

My interest in this topic was spiked after another video I watched and the overuse of antibiotics in food animal production was mentioned. It was always something I knew about but didn’t know a whole lot about. So immediately after hearing several facts I had to know more because of all the questions that started popping into my head! I didn’t quite understand where the drug resistant bacteria started, I learned that it’s truly a matter evolution. Bacteria living inside the animal comes in contact with repetitive doses of antibiotics and eventually several can build a tolerance to the drug and become completely resistant, so that the next time a dose in ingested it kills off the susceptible bacteria and the immune bacteria remain living and begin to reproduce inside the animal eventually causing it to carry a fully antibiotic resistant infection. I thought it was crazy that human medical care used 7.7 million pounds of antibiotics per year. But then I learned that 30 million pounds of antibiotics are used per year, this is where my questions about the purpose of antibiotics for the animals started getting answered. 20% of them actually go to treating the sick animals, the other 80% is really just used for production tools. Production tools can be things like ingredients that encourage faster growth, prevent future diseases, and to treat diseases that occur because of the way WE treat the animals. These are also called ‘Production Diseases’, infections to the animals based on the living conditions and are only treated by administering only another dose of antibiotics. I appreciated a term that Lance Price used to describe these production sites known as “Factory Farms”, I think this is a very accurate name for an establishment that focuses on the quantity of their production rather than the quality. Continuously pumping antibiotics as a clock based treatment to prevent any possible disease that could affect the greater population of their herd. These low and continuous doses of the drugs are what cause the drug resistant bacteria. Price used the definition of antibiotics being known as ‘societal drugs’, the meaning of this is through a overuse of antibiotics a sense of immunity by bacteria is gained and begins to cause infections in humans and can cause a large spread throughout society. This then prevents everyone from being treated with the same antibiotic. This is the same process that happens through the use of these drugs in food animal production. This outcome is something I find disgustingly comical. These industries are knowingly using ‘sub therapeutic’ antibiotics to ‘better’ the health of their animals, these animals then develop a drug resilient bacteria. Due to the fact that they are given the drug doses practically on clockwork, the bacteria remains very much alive. Once the animal is processed, the large quantities of infected meat are shipped to super markets across the country. Only to be then to be purchased and put a great number of our society’s population at risk of infection. Once the infection affects a large number of people that can’t be treated by antibiotics it is transmitted rapidly until a cure can be found. Once heat of the incident blows back on the production company they blame the people for not properly taking care of their meat or by not cooking it thorough enough to kill the harmful bacteria that THEY created. I greatly appreciated the optimism of Lance Price, he not only gave a great deal of helpful information about this subject he showed us how we prevent this crisis from ruining future generations of possible healthcare. Another question that popped into my head during this video was how do we start the process of ending these super bugs? I learned shortly that it has to begin with the conservation of antibiotics in both hospitals and food animal production. The true problem regarding healthcare here is the affect it has significantly on humans. One way we can begin to conserve the use of these special drugs is only administering them to sick people and sick animals. The next step is to change the system we have to reduce the risk of both people and animals contracting harmful bacteria. By increasing hygiene standards in homes, hospitals, and in the food production system. Eventually down the road, efforts to remove the use of antibiotics from food animal production in unnecessary cases would help terminate the number and chances of drug resistant bacteria. Many bacteria will revert back to being susceptible to the use of antibiotics, bacteria will still remain in animals and in our foods. If we take the time to prep our food properly we minimize the risk of infection, people can and will still get sick! The difference is that now the use of antibiotics will be affective. The last slice of optimism that Price gave was that there is hope and that it is in motion for a better future. There are more models of successful food animal production systems that are remaining extremely efficient and the need for antibiotics are nonexistent. Also on the rise, the number of traditional/natural forms of raising animals known as “open air” grounds, or local farms. These systems are more enjoyable for the farmer and for the animals as well, with no need of antibiotics and no present diseases. This allows for “the farmers to be farmers, animals to be animals, and lets us save antibiotics for future generations.”

I live in an area where the grow and process a lot of chickens. My husband has worked on the farms, in the processing plats and has hauled the feed to the farms. I have seen the farms ad worked in the processing plants as well. The feed has a lot of deadly stuff in it as well. Arsnic being one of them. Sorry for spelling. We now grow our own chicken and pork and more and even sell the extra for those who can't grow their own. Our health is getting better.

Can you point to any evidence showing any health benefits from the carnivore diet? Also, if farming plants results in pest deaths, farming animals results in far more because most of the plants we farm we feed to animals. The ratio is about 16:1 plant matter to animal product I believe.

@@leslieviljoen That's an epidemiological study meant to create hypotheses and not draw conclusions. There was a properly controlled, interventional study done in the 30's that showed benefits of the carnivore diet but generally, these studies are considered unethical because you have to lock people up in a facility and control their entire lives. Dr. Paul Saladino cites hundreds of pertinent studies, supporting his carnivore claims in his new book, "The Carnivore Code." What we know for sure: 1) Many people have adverse reactions to varying levels to the antinutrients in plants. 2) 150mg is the general threshold of oxalate tolerance to the average person and it's very easy to consume more than that on a plant-based diet. Oxalate toxicity is a tremendous problem for the world. (see: Sally K. Norton and also, Elliot Overton; his talk on Bart Kay's channel is excellent) 3) The bioavailability of plant nutrients is low but it's very high in animal products. 4) Many indigenous people, throughout history have thrived on a primarily animal product diet. They preferred animal products over plant products. 5) Regenerative ruminant agriculure; adaptive, multi-paddock, rotational grazing is the type of farming that I advocate. It's the best future for man's food supply as it regenerates depleted soil and provides top-tier nutrition for humans. These grass-fed, grass-finished animals support life. 6) There's a point where the many tens of thousands of anecdotal stories of people being healed on a carnivore diet means something. These stories have greater value than people being healed on a plant-based diet because there's no risk of oxalate overload or adverse reactions from plant toxins and the chemicals used to grow them. I listen to success stories every day from "The Carnivore Cast" and "MeatRx." These people are finding healing on the carnivore diet and when many of them try to re-introduce plants, they have adverse reactions. 7) Plants today are not the same as 70+yrs ago. What we have today are GMO and/or highly cultivated plants for maximum profits. These plants are not like the originals of the past (grains, corn, bananas, e.g.). 8) There are essential nutrients ONLY found in animal products. You don't need supplements on the carnivore diet but you need to supplement very heavily if you're on a plant-based diet. 9) Nina Teicholz has revealed the truth about why saturated fats and cholesterol were demonized by the scientific community. The world was scammed and untold millions of people have suffered for it.

Besides which we just don't have the land to put all the CAFO animals on to pasture so it's a non-starter. Point 6: how do these anecdotes remove confounders like weight loss? Point 7: are the animals we eat somehow getting nutrients from a source other than plants? Point 8: nope, only B12. I track my nutrients on Cronometer and would be severely lacking on a meat-only diet. Point 9: reading up, but I start out highly doubtful of conspiracy theories.

Antimicrobial resistance is clearly a problem, but the relationship between antibiotic resistance in agricultural animals and human health is not yet well understood or proven. Please keep this in mind when condemning farmers and agriculture for 1) making a living, and 2) feeding the world. I'm not saying the animal agriculture industry is perfect or without criticism, but this guy's talk is misleading. CAFO's --> Antimicrobial resistance --> human death is not a good description and has not been proven. Criticizing farmers for the wrong reason widens the sociopolitical divide between rural and urban. It's OK to think CAFO's are inhumane, etc., for your personal beliefs, but this is an application of science that unjustly reinforces anger and mistrust towards farmers who have debatably one of the worst financial situations in the country.
