“Supermoms” Lobby Washington Against Overuse of Antibiotics in Food Production

A group calling itself “Supermoms Against Superbugs” reportedly gathered
in Washington, D.C. recently to lobby for greater limits on antibiotics used
in U.S. food production. Organized by the Pew Campaign on Human Health
and Industrial Farming and the American Academy of Pediatrics, the coalition
included chefs, farmers, pediatricians, and consumers who participated in
meetings with congressional staff, the Food and Drug Administration, and the
White House Domestic Policy Council. See Pew Campaign on Human Health
