Are industrial meat operations to blame for the rise in drug-resistant illnesses and superbugs? How can consumers protect themselves, and what role should the government play in safeguarding our food supply from unhealthy farming practices? Today we are joined by Russ Kremer, a.k.a. the “Pope of Pork”, a recipient of the Natural Resources Defense Council’s 2013 Growing Green Award, and Dr. Jason Newland, Medical Director of Patient Safety and Systems Reliability Director, Antimicrobial Stewardship Program Children's Mercy Hospitals & Clinics Kansas City, MO. We will discuss the current state of meat production in America, and what farmers like Russ are doing to create healthier options for consumers.
