Moms for Antibiotic Awareness Join us and help end the misuse and overuse of antibiotics in food animal production. Dear PTA Leader, Did you know that many industrial farms feed antibiotics to healthy food animals simply to offset the effects of overcrowding and poor sanitation and to promote faster growth? In fact, up to 70 percent of all antibiotics sold in the U.S. go to food animals that aren’t sick. This practice puts human health at risk because it helps breed deadly antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can spread to people. And children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems are especially at risk. That is why Moms for Antibiotic Awareness—tens of thousands of moms, dads and others concerned about their family’s health—is working to end the overuse and misuse of antibiotics in food animal production. Join us to protect human health by taking action for more judicious use of antibiotics.
