"Stop Feeding Us Superbugs!"-14 year old needs your help.
Dear Mrs. Obama,
I am a 14 year old girl in the 9th grade. I am scared because the antibiotics put in our food are causing us to become more resistant to antibiotics. Factory farmers need to STOP routinely adding antibiotics to animal feed. Every day, kids get school lunches with meat that contains antibiotics. Every day Americans eat meat from the grocery store that contains antibiotics.
70-80% of all antibiotics made by drug companies are used in animal feed. These antibiotics end up in the meat we eat and the waste from these animals, which contains antibiotics, ends up in our groundwater.
Antibiotic resistance is killing more and more Americans each year. More and more people get infections that are antibiotic resistant. Our school lunches should contain meat with antibiotics in it. We meat we buy at the grocery store should have antibiotics in it. Routinely feeding antibiotics to livestock is not necessary. Europe banned this practice several years ago.
I am sending this petition to you have done so much to help kids like me to learn how to eat healthier and exercise more. Please help us kids raise public awareness about this problem.

Why is this important?
More and more Amerikcans are dying because of infections caused by antibiotic resistance. 70-80% of all anibiotics made by drug companies are used in animal feed. This meat ends up on our plates.I want the factory farmers (meat industry)industry to stop routinely adding antibiotics to animal feed. Factory farmers don't need to do this. Europe doesn't routinely add antibiotics to animal fee. Our future health depends on it.
