From #NYTOpinion | Sandy Lewis, a small-time organic cattle farmer in upstate New York — and a former Wall Street arbitrageur — spent 2 years on an investigative journey into the use of #antibiotics on American animal farms. Now he’s asking a question he strongly believes government regulators and the meat industry urgently need to grapple with: Are pig, cattle and poultry farmers misusing antibiotics, allowing too much of the drug to get into our food? It has long been common knowledge in farming that antibiotics can help cause animals to grow fatter faster. In early 2017, the FDA enacted rules banning the use of human antibiotics purely for growth promotion in animals and requiring ranchers to get a prescription from a veterinarian for antibiotics. Despite the ban, though, Sandy, 79, is convinced that some ranchers continue to use antibiotics for growth purposes — a claim that is difficult to document. Experts agree that the FDA rules have a “giant loophole” that allows farmers to continue to use antibiotics to prevent diseases even if animals aren’t showing symptoms. Sandy has a message for his fellow cattle ranchers. Their misuse of antibiotics, he says, makes “arbitrage look honest.” @damonwinter photographed Sandy closing a pasture gate at the cattle farm.
