Luckily for us in the UK, factory farming has not yet taken over, but the principles of what is happening in America raise serious question about what we put in our water. In Europe, regulations on hormone and antibiotic use are stricter than in the US, but we must remain vigilant about what chemicals are permitted to enter our water systems.
