Here's an important issue to our health that you may be aware of. About a year ago, I read an article discussing the unse of antibiotics in farm animals in the Sunday magazine section of the NY Times. It described in lurid detail the process of fattening up beef with corn (which they can't digest) and in order to keep them alive, farmers stuff antibiotics down their throats. Then shortly before heading off to market, they pump them full of steroids to really get them in "buff" condition. Nice, huh? Of course, the use of all these antibiotics over such a long period of time, makes us resistant to them when we need them. So, you can go to this link, where you can easily write your congressmen,senators, etc. That's my health note of the day!
