You protect growing cattle with lifelong antibiotic exposure in the feed for going on 3 decades now, it’s bound to have consequences.

Wow. So I’ve been eating meat with antibiotic resistant staph and I’m still here. Eating meat. Rare. With horseradish on the side.

These bacteria may be resistant to antibiotics but, fortunately, they are not resistant to heat. If what I read is true, there have only been two documented foodborne outbreaks of the antibiotic resistant strain of this bacteria and both cases were caused by food handlers rather than the food.

Foodborne illness in this country has been declining for a long time now and less than 1% of all foodborne illnesses are caused by staph. Half of the population has these bacteria living in their nasal passages. This is just more media alarmism paving the way for an expanded government.

It’s worth it to find good sources of organic, grass fed, or pastured meat. G-d does not want us to eat unclean animals, and that goes beyond the kosher thing — we are not supposed to eat dead or sick animals. Those of you who live more rural have it easier - you can find your own farms. But even in the cities there are either stores or mail order. I enjoy my meat and none of the farms have ever been in the news for staph or e coli.
