Back in high school, after reading Space-Time and Beyond for the umpteenth time and drinking one too many zombies with my friend Henry, we came up with a theory:
In the infinite set of universes, there had to exist a particular universe in which the events in our lives were being watched as a TV show.
We then made a solemn vow to live in a way to keep our ratings up.
This is the continuation of that story.

There was a miniseries on Sci-Fi a while back (which was probably a British series originally) called "Ultraviolet". It was about a secret government agency hunting and researching vampires (or "Code V"s) in the modern day. Their fear was that the vampires, concerned that humanity was on the verge of self-destruction, were about to take over so they could control their food supply (us) like human "battery hens".

When prescribing antibiotics, doctors are constantly warned not to overprescribe them, as the microbes, which can evolve quickly thanks to their rate of reproduction, will eventually develop resistance to them, redering the drugs useless. I'd hate to see animal-based bacteria do an "end run" around our human antibiotics restrictions by way of animal antibiotics.
Thankfully, some companies are listening: McDonald's recently announced that they are calling for the phase-out of the addition of antibiotics to animal feed to promote growth.
