U.S. Representative Louise Slaughter on Threats Posed by Antibiotics in Livestock
The routine use of antibiotics in livestock contributes to the growing threat of antibiotic resistant infections in humans. Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Representative Louise Slaughter, representing the 25th District in New York State, and the only microbiologist in Congress. A tireless advocate for legislation to protect antibiotics, Slaughter speaks about her efforts to pass the Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act. With decades of experience fighting for legislation to protect public health and safety, Slaughter describes the political roadblocks, and what we can do to protect our food, drugs and health.
