This particular web article describes the benefits of using antibiotics in the food industry, and the little known facts that are associated with it.

This allows the reader to explore different pages to explain how antibiotics is important for the food industry, as well as disprove common misconceptions about these drugs.

This article is very beneficial because there are not many articles that explain the advantages of antibiotics. Much of the information about using antibiotics for animals are harsh statements that try to misconstrue the reader; however, this reference is able to confirm the falsification of facts in other citations. This website is one of the most useful websites, because it has many different areas within the it that help disprove common misinformation about antibiotics. The "Fact or Fiction" article is extremely valuable because it states specific facts that previous articles believe are true and this article states as fiction.
