>> from the food and antibiotic overuse. 80% of the antibiotics in the country are used not on people, it's used on animals and getting into our system indirectly. as a result, we have staph that is extremely resistant, and you need to be aware. first of all, stay away from red meat. we recommended this last week. as much as you can, stay away. if you can, use organic. >> i'm go organic. i'm not giving up meat, but thank you. >> the key number david highlighted is 80% of the antibiotics are giving to animals and not in therapeutic ways. animals are not sick. what the fda watts to do is ban this use or at least put on the label for human consumption only. they give low doses of antibiotic that promote groegz. if a bacteria is exposed to all these antibiotics, we're talking millions of colonies here. the ones that survive are the ones that are resistant to that an antibiotic. you see it with e. coli, with salmonella. common bacteria have this problem. then they cause human infections. the american academy of pediatrics came out saying, hey, we don't have enough antibiotics to treatment

already because they don't tolerate this antibiotic, that antibiotic. we need more choices, not less. if you give us a problem with drug resistance, we're not going to have as much arrows in our quiver to use. that's the problem when you get over to the human side. it's a big part of the problem. the other part which david and i discussed a few weeks ago is in hospitals we're overusing antibiotics. >> back to the animals, will the fda win on this one? >> you know, in europe -- i'll answer it indirectly. in europe it's banned. all over the world it's banned. we're one of the stragglers. the biggest problem is we have too many agencies handling this. the usda handles the research in animals, cdc handles education. >> bottom line, we go to the supermarket and pay the extra money for organic? >> yes. they are banning penicillin and tetracycline. you need to have a prescription before you give these antibiotics. we have a long way to go, but it's a great start. >> very interesting. thank you. >> a few bucks more, you can look at it, but worth it. >>> coming

the overuse of antibiotics by the medical profession is part of it, but 80% of the antibiotics producedre used every day in the feed of animals. now, not because they're sick but as you pointed out, so they'll be worth more at the market. the harm that that's causing is almost incalculable. let me give you an example of what that could mean. anytime someone has a joint replacement, organ transplant, dialysis, dental work, you get antibiotics to cut down the infrekzs. what if they didn't work anymore? what if all that science couldn't be used anymore. over 2 million people a year get sick from the fact that these animals are causing this -- bacteria rather, are still on the meat and are resistant to the antibiotics. the latest outbreak, over 500 people went to the hospital. a larger percentage than normal died. many had sepsis, blood poisoning. the people who perused the chickens that were at risk here, claimed they didn't cook it. they blamed the victims, not themselves, and the way they processed the chickens. but what happened is costco did take some of that chicken and cooked it more

antibiotics are placed in feed.sort of meat or go to the farms for vegetables and things. eventually, the point is it gets into our system and that's how this antibiotic in feed is causing problems in humans. also, 80% of antibiotics in this country are used that way. in feed. about 20% directly to humans, so you can see the magnitude of a problem like this. >> that really lays out why that the fda would be taking this on, but if you said 80% of antibiotics are used in livestock, not humans. >> that's right and that can have all sorts of different manifestations. it could get into the food, affect farmers or it's actually if used for other things, including something that could get into our vegetable supply, you start to worry about outbreaks. you may remember there was 134 people sickened. a chicken outbreak and the bacteria was a resistant bacteria. so people were getting sick with something that was incredibly hard to treat because of the food they were eating. that's obviously a huge concern. >> the next questio
