who I am
I'm MaryAnn Johanson: writer and ponderer in New York City who drinks too much wine and thinks way too much about such inconsequences as movies, TV, books, and the meaning of life.

by themselves, these critiques don't invalidate the statements made in the video. but i would like to see a better quality source or at least references to articles in real science journals.

We certainly have to be on the alert for quacks. However, when so much of what passes for science today is controlled by corporate interests, we have to watch out for cries of quackery, too. On the face of things, it seems to make sense that overdosing the animals that feed us with antibiotics and other drugs seems like a bad idea. And yet it's not one that the mainstream media usually broaches, not in any sensible way.

"when so much of what passes for science today is controlled by corporate interests"
An boring, unfounded assertion. Science is science. Internal combustion works. Penicillin cures strep throat.
Boring and predictable.

Yes, science is science. And politics is politics. And money is money.
Anyone who can deny that "science" can be bought -- not the reality and integrity of the scientific method, but the authority of those who pretend that they esteem it -- can be bought is denying the reality that doctors have endorsed cigarettes, and that the FDA is more about protecting corporate interests than it is about protecting consumers.
That's what this video is about.
