The Food and Drug Administration this week urged meat producers to stop using antibiotics to increase the size of poultry, cattle, pigs and other animals. Scientists are concerned that the overuse of antibiotics in animals is helping create more drug resistant diseases in humans.

Guests:

Steve Roach, public health program director with Food Animal Concerns Trust and a member of Keep Antibiotics Working, a coalition of health and environmental groups

Howard Hill, veterinarian with Iowa Select Farms in Iowa Falls and member of the board of directors for the National Pork Producers Council
