Jane E. Henney, M.D.:

I am a teacher and have worked  for 22 years in special education.  I am 
concerned about the health of children, and the public.  I believe that by 
creating a federal antibiotic reporting system to determine the quantity of 
antibiotics used in U.S. agriculture is of top priority for everyones well 
being.  I have had the problem myself of not being able to handle the flu due 
to antibiotics not working.  
The more our domestic animale are fed antibiotics, the more immune we become 
to fighting disease.  I would rather have a healthy dinner that cost more, 
than never being able to be healthy again due to the use of these antibiotics 
in our livestock.  Think about it.  
Please send a response to what you plan to do about this.
