FDA report on antibiotics sold for use in “food-producing animals”

The report has been out for a couple of months, but I am just not seeing the press that it should have generated. Is that because the never-ever, organic, cage free and anti-CAFO groups have nothing to crow about? For the very first time since FDA started tracking sales in 2009, there was a drop; and not a small one either. The sales of medically important antibiotics, those used in both human and animal health, dropped 14 percent!Shouldn't there be a headline or two about this change? And this was for the year 2016, not 2017 when Guidance 213 went into effect. Sales of not medically important antibiotics — those that are never used in human medicine — accounted for 40 percent of total sales. Again.And these not important antibiotics are included when the anti-ag crowd says 80 percent of all antibiotic sales are to healthy animals and we will all die because of it.
