Food Safety Gone Astray: The Misguided War on Wildlife

About this original series

"Food safety" practices have caused serious environmental harm and may actually be counterproductive to keeping our food safe. Much harm has occurred following the spinach E. coli outbreak in 2006, though systemic problems were brewing before that incident. This event, held November 20, 2008 at Fort Mason in San Francisco, brought together regional and national speakers to address the important and pressing issue of current food safety practices that threaten the sustainability of our food systems, as well as human health and wildlife. Fresh perspectives and the latest research on critical U.S. food safety challenges were addressed.

      Andy Kimbrell, Director of Center for Food Safety outlines how food safety is under attack from many directions. The FDA proposed irradiation of leafy greens is not the solution to food borne illness. In fact, it serves to distract attention from the unsanitary conditions of industrial agriculture that create the problem in the first place. Genetic engineering, nanotechnology and cloned livestock are additional developments that create new and unique risks to human health and the environment. ...

      Robert S. Lawrence, M.D. and Director of Center for a Livable Future at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health discusses the evidence linking the inappropriate use of antibiotics in sub-therapeutic doses as growth promoters in the industrial production of food animals in the United States to the emergence of bacteria resistant to these antibiotics and the subsequent threat to the health of the public. Confined animal feeding operations or CAFOs where thousands of animals are crowded t...

      Becky Weed, Owner and Operator of 13 Mile Lamb and Wool Company, argues that animal health rules established decades ago to eradicate brucellosis from domestic livestock herds no longer fit the nation's needs for brucellosis management, for the only remaining reservoir is in wildlife, not domestic herds. The complicated history of bison, elk and cattle in the Greater Yellowstone Area illustrate how well-intentioned food safety rules, when misapplied, can distract us from real issues in both ag...
