Antibiotics everywhere — in chicken, pork, fish, mutton
The ‘antibiotics in your chicken’ story was everywhere in the Indian media (1, 2, 3, 4) today — studies by Delhi-based NGO Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) always manage to generate this level of interest — be it antibiotics in honey, toxic phthalates in toys , polluting car parks or pesticides in cola. These are studies that touch the common man’s life directly and, many a time, help make policy changes by creating the necessary buzz. The peer review process follows the advocacy drive, I am told, “since publishing scientific findings could take time and the issue at hand might need urgent attention.”
