Dr. Michael Greger is the author of Bird Flu, and an expert on how extreme animal confinement is a big cause of the growth of pandemic disease. We received this note from Dr. Greger today:

Me Against the Mob

My four-against-one debate at the Congressional Quarterly forum on zoonotic disease was just posted on the website of the Animal Health Institute, the industry trade group spearheading the fight to maintain the status quos on antibiotic use in farm animals. Should I be surprised that they edited out a number of my comments (and as far as I can tell none of anyone else’s)?

I was able to splice in audio of some of the sections they removed, though, into a compilation video I put together of my participation in the forum. You can download my 20 minute video at http://bit.ly/gregerantibiotics.

The 3 hour (but doctored) video can be found on Healthy Animals.
