British supermarket chickens show record level of antibiotic-resistant superbugs

In the liberals&#x27; world with markets unimpeded by regulation and entirely self-governed by market forces, how does something like the rise of superbugs play out?<p>It takes a good 10-20 years lead time for this to become a real issue, and then probably another decade for the market to adjust to punish the bad actors. In this time, the damage has been done.<p>The downstream impact of certain business practises are too detached from the source, and the impact itself felt too much in isolation from the cause for the market to react appropriately.<p>Sadly, it seems government too has moved too slowly on issues such as this so what to do?

<i>Even the US banned the practice over 10 years ago because of the strength of the scientific evidence. So why are British and European authorities still refusing to take action?</i><p>Very interesting, nice to see the US ahead on this. I&#x27;ve always thought that European food and safety standards were stricter than what we have in the US.

I worked as a chicken quality check in a large UK factory. The cheap chicken you see in supermarkets and (fast food) is complete trash. Freerange, Organic and normal do really differ in all kind of ways.<p>People would really look at chicken differently if they worked at a poultry processing factory for a week.

Jeez, the click-bait title.<p>British supermarket chickens show RECORD LEVEL of antibiotic-resistant SUPERBUGS.
