Your Vegetables May Be Laced With Antibiotics

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Careful what you eat, especially whenever you’re hypersensitive to certain antibiotics. Recent studies have shown that some vegetables absorb the antibiotic chemicals from the soil they’re grown in. Why? Animal manure.

In our vast food chain, it seems that we have come across the elemental irony. Humans are now being penalised by their own attempts to optimize the animal and fertiliser industries. Rather than people being superior to animals and plants in the food chain, we are now being “kicked down the pants,” as we say.

Here’s the explanation: Animals raised for human consumption are often fed antibiotics called for to make them stronger and larger, making them more marketable animals, according to the Journal of Environmental Quality’s report on antibiotic infused crops. In raising these animals, their manure is also collected to be used for soil in raising crops. This muck, used as soil, has now been found to transfer the antibiotics put in the animal feed to the very plants that grow in that soil.

Authorized Users vs. Co-Applicants

Oftentimes, a teen’s first introduction to credit is becoming an authorized user on a parent’s credit card. This is an easy way to get a credit card, but it’s not usually the best way. In almost every case, an authorized user doesn’t build positive credit of her own, but if the primary cardholder gets into default, it can be reflected on the authorized user’s credit report. Put differently, your child doesn’t stand to benefit from your good credit but could suffer if you fall under rough sledding*. (more…)
