- Food Patriots
- Rogue chickens on the loose in Northbrook
When Jeff and Jennifer Spitz’s son got sick from eating contaminated processed chicken, the first thing they did was spend more than a month growing increasingly frustrated and scared as he fought the antibiotic-resistant bug the chicken had given him.
My son Sam went out to lunch with his friends after school, when he was in high school, and he got a chicken Caesar salad, thinking he was doing the healthy thing. And he got antibiotic-resistant camphylobacter. Camphylobacter is a common food-borne illness in chicken, but the antiobiotic resistance was new. He got sicker and sicker, he lost 30 pounds, and we kept bringing him back to the hospital and they’d give him more and more antibiotics.
What does the term “food patriots” mean?
When did they outlaw chickens? Because Northbrook must have still had farms not that long ago, at least within living memory.
It looks like you’re doing some innovative things to get this film out there and seen, in venues outside traditional movie theaters.
