Antibiotic Resistance: McDonald's and Other Fastfood Companies React.
Why Not Bayer?
The New York Times reports that McDonald's, Wendy's, and Popeye's have
agreed to stop purchasing poultry products treated with certain 
antibiotics. Some poultry producers are also reducing the use of these 
antibiotics in the chickens they produce. Overuse of antibiotics in farm 
animals increases antibiotic resistance in bacteria, threatening human 
health. Bayer Corporation, maker of antibiotics, has refused to stop 
selling antibiotics for use in farm animals, despite pressure from the 
FDA, Environmental Defense, and nearly 10,000 Action Network Activists.
