It takes 30 seconds and could impact the entire food system.

I need you to join me. Take less than 30 seconds and sign this petition.

On Monday, I launched a campaign asking the largest fast food chain in the world to stop the routine use of antibiotics in their meat.

And now over 22,000 people have joined me but our voice needs to be louder to make this happen.

Watch the video and sign the petition.

Even if you are vegan or vegetarian or plan on never setting foot inside a Subway again, this matters.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria can end up in the ground, water and in our fertilizer.

You or your loved one (like mine) could be affected by this issue and end up in the hospital or worse...

It's estimated that over 80% of the world's antibiotics are used on farm animals. Antibiotic resistant bacteria and superbugs are the result of the overuse of antibiotics and we have the opportunity to lessen this crisis.

Subway controls an estimated 6 billion dollars worth of purchasing power in the meat industry and they sell 7.6 million subs per day. That's a lot of meat.

A snowball revolution can happen when we get major players like Subway to make these changes. Just look at Chick-fil-A – when they made the commitment, they inspired other major companies to take some action too – everyone from McDonalds to Costco and even Walmart.

I know this campaign isn't as jarring as yoga mats and shoe rubber chemicals in our bread – but it's so much more important.

This issue affects all of us as humans.

Please take less than 30 seconds and lend your voice to ours.

We need you. I can't say that enough. We really do need your voice to change this food system.

Thank you for your incredible commitment to a safe food system.

Xo,

Vani

P.S. I spent yesterday contacting Subway directly, leaving comments on their facebook page, tweeting to them and calling them. If you'd like to keep the pressure on, you can do this too. Their number is 1-800-888-4848. Ask them to announce a formal antibiotic policy for all of their meat (chicken, beef, turkey and pork) and a timeline to get there.
