  • factory-farm animals consume a jaw-dropping four times as many antibiotics as do people in the United States
  • And we know that a kind of antibiotic-resistant staph infection called MRSA now kills more people than AIDS
  • and infects people who never set foot in a hospital, which is the site where MRSA is thought to have originated

  • that pigs in confined animal feedlot operations, and the workers who tend them, routinely carry MRSA strains (her paper can be found here).
  • The big concern is not that humans will acquire drug-resistant bacteria from their properly cooked bacon or sausage, but rather that the bacteria will be transferred to humans from the common pests that live with pigs and then move in with us.
  • Meanwhile, evidence is mounting that factory-scale animal farms exact a high toll from the people who live around them in other ways, too. A study by University of North Carolina professor Steve Wing and others shows that people with the bad luck to live near giant hog farms suffer demonstrably worse health when the factories are getting up to malodorous stuff like spraying untreated (and thus antibiotic-resistant-bacteria-laden) manure on fields. Among the many hidden costs of cheap pork is that people who live near factory farms are doomed either to be sick or shut in at certain times of the year. (McKenna has an excellent discussion of the Wing study on her Wired blog.)

  • “Unless you have a roadmap or you have someone else you can look to and say, ‘Well, they did it, this is how they did it,’ it is hard to imagine what it could be like.”
