blog#15 "part 2"

 In this article from sustainabletable.org talks about the misuse of antibiotics. "The antibiotics do more harm then good".  Also talks about the living conditions of how these animals live such as pigs,cows, and chickens. how humans are effected by the food that are made from a factory as apposed to a farmer breeder.
    Modern industrial factory farm would keep the animals in harsh conditions like keeping them in cages, pins, debecking a chicken, and having them in confined areas. no room to move around in they even had to lay in there own pue. there immune system were weak over time which made these animals prone to infection. which in return can effect humans because they are not compensate for unhealthy conditions. they  would also blimp them up with antibiotics so that way they can grow faster and make a profit off the consumers that buy the food.
    furthermore a study shown by "the national academy of sciences" say that estimated 18,000 americans die due to drug resistant infections. caused by eating the product of meat, eggs,and the milk that have the antibiotics in them made from the factory. which cause a health crisis. because of the bacteria increacing and becoming costly to treat. live stock business threaten to increase the number of cases of antibiotics resistant to bacteria.
                      In conclusion, even thou not a lot of people are aware what is in there food or how it process. the article explain, the awareness of what is being done to these animals that effect the animals that effect the humans consumers. the food that cause all different types of conditions. but when treated right by farmers who use good methods of how food is process make a healthier choice of  food.

  2. I agree with your opinion. The factory farms were cruel to the animals. They only focus on the benefit without consider the customers' health.
    We should choose healthier food for our family.

  7. Hello thecopper my name is Ala. I’m from the class ENG 099.
    I think your summary was complete and well organized. The three part of The Meatrix gives the reader a clear understanding about the video. Thecopper your response for The Meatrix in not understandable, as I saw you were supporting some ideas from an article that is posted on sustainabletable.org. In orders for us readers to comment on your essay and understand better your claims, we have to read the original passage first, that has to be posted by you. I do like most of your ideas that you have developed in the essay, but what I think you should work on more is developing this idea that you have it in the conclusion “but when treated right by farmers who use good methods of how food is process make a healthier choice of food”, and compare it to modern industrial factory farm.
    Wish you good luck!

  8. HEello my name is charmaine. Elliot you made a good way of pointing out the way they uses antibiotics on the animals .but I think you should not start the essay with the using of antibiotics but, should be more about family farming and factor farming.Elliot you made an interesting point about the studydone by the national academy of sciences. however, I would like to know ARE YOU OPPOSE to factory farming.

  9. Hi I'm Eduard and your summary was good. It is very sacry that many people are dying of drug resistant infections because of the sick animals. How do you think this can be stopped? Do you think the government can do anything about this? How can consumers stop this?
