Those who work in the medical community need to remove their work clothing, bag the clothes, wear shoe covers, take showers along with washing hair, then go to the grocery store. Too many health care professionals go to restaurants, food grocers with their work clothes on and potentially place communities at high risk for bacteria like e. coli. They need to take a bigger role in keeping clean in public.

Why is there no mention of all the antibiotics fed to our food supply ( cows etc)
The media does not want to offend them, they would rather offend the doctors who over prescribe.
Personally I eat only farm raised grass fed beef, farm raised chickens no pork and wild caught fish.
These are healthy options.

I have a neighbor who was prescribed antibiotics for fire ant bites that would have gone away on their own.

What's interesting is that the only people who come down with E-Coli are people like you and me, who have to buy our chow at the local supermarket. You ever heard of a corporate fat-cat, a U.S. Senator or a 2-star General getting zapped with E-Coli? Of course not... they don't eat the swill that comes to our table from feedlots and factory farms.

This is directly related to our flawed food system and the horrendous methods of food production.
