your spin is sickening

Click here for NPR’s story on the turkey recall (including an incredulous quote from the VP of the meat industry group, The National Turkey Federation

Ms. Rosenblatt:

Please consider revising your spin on the turkey recall issue. I heard your ridiculous quote on NPR this morning. It was unbelievable! To say routine, sub-clinical antibiotic use makes food the “highest quality”  ”safest” and “most nutritious” in the world is a dangerous lie and people can see right through it. This type of antibiotic use is all about profit at the expense of endangering us all. You would better serve your industry and your community by encouraging farmers to find alternatives to sub-clinical antibiotic use. An apology or statement of concern for the victims of this tragedy is the only humane response.

Sincerely,

Lindsay Harris
