When You Think It Is Late, It Is Too Late.

Killing our children with antibiotic.

       We have been addicted to antibiotic. In most of food we eat, antibiotic is used for treatment of infections and to promotes the growth of livestock. It also helps to intensify animal farming. However, it seems like as it intensifies animal farming more and more it kills our children worse and worse.    

       "Children who were born in 2000 might be the first generation to have the shorter lifespan than their parents" This is a part of Ann Cooper's speech. A lot of countries such as Denmark, Germany, New Zealand and South Korea have banned the use of antibiotics because it's negative aspects outweigh the positive aspects. However, a group of people who try to take advantages and benefits from this issue is always a problem. The president of the National Pork Producer claims that the risk of antibiotics in human is very low and there are no scientific that proves it.  

        In my entire life, I have seen a lot of food issues like that. However, there are always two groups which are against and for the issue. It is natural to have two groups. However, it must be stopped if the issue is about our health. It is not the matter of whether we have scientific results that prove it. According to Minnesota Health Department, using antibiotic might increase resistance in foodborne bacteria which can then infect humans. In addition Ann Cooper also claimed that children will be infected by colon bacterium because of antibiotics and this disease will be incurable once we get it. Those two research might not be 100% scientifically proved. But if we have at least 0.1% of getting it we should stop it. There are a lot of incurable diseases in the world. Nothing will be changed even if we regret it later. It will be too late when we think it is late. We should prevent it. 

This is Ann Cooper's video and she also provides about school lunch problems we are facing.
