Unfortunately, not all food providers and industries prioritize that. Leanne, what a story - wow! We are glad your boys are doing better. Amanda, yes, we want to be healthy!

In September, we decided to jump on the "couponing" band wagon, we stopped organics and went to buying and eating whatever was on sale. Within 2 weeks 3 of my 4 children were sick, within a month we were visiting the pediatrician once every 14 days and my kids were VERY sick, by Thanksgiving... both of my boys had developed antibiotic resistant infections in their ears and sinuses. In January both boys had to undergo surgery to be cleaned out, remove adnoids ,and get their 2nd set of tubes. We have come back to all organic, and the antibiotic free meats and diary. I have already begun to notice a difference. I can testify to this.

There are very few arguments, that makes sense, to continue with the use of antibiotics in our food. However, despite your tendency or non-tendency towards a healthy and natural diet you can't argue the science which specifically tells us the more antibiotics you intake the more quickly you build up a tolerance to them making it all that much more difficult to fight off infection. Really . . . don't we all want to be healthy and infection free . . . Absolutely, Americans should go antibiotic free.
