The Dangers of Antibiotics in our Meat - "Overkill?" - A WRAL Documentary

More antibiotics are fed to livestock in North Carolina alone than are given to humans in the entire United States, according to a recent study. Animal agriculture is a nearly $6 billion industry in North Carolina. Farmers say antibiotics are necessary to keep animals healthy and maintain the productivity needed to meet consumer demand for inexpensive meat. "Overkill?" takes viewers on farms where antibiotics are being used and to the hospitals where doctors are battling an increasing number of antibiotic resistant infections. It explores the debate among farmers, researchers and advocates over the risk of agricultural antibiotic use and looks at the viability of large-scale antibiotic free meat production. “Overkill?” is hosted by WRAL News anchor Debra Morgan and aired Thursday, Jan. 26, 2012.
