I can see that. I personally give zero fucks how my food is treated as long as it isnt over cooked. We should start giving animals more long baths to prep them for their upcoming sous vide lifestyle.

Do you have any clue what you are talking about? Antibiotics are being commonly included in animal feed for a growth side-effect. Companies and individuals are right to discourage this practice for a number of reasons. Chief among these it creates infections with resistances to antibiotic treatment.

Just because they have multiple uses doesn't mean Tarant is incorrect. They also use them so they can pack more animals in tighter spaces.
Antibiotics FTW!
He's 100% incorrect in lambasting a movement without any understanding what the movement was about. Shit didn't start because companies were using antibiotics to treat hoof rot. It started because antibiotics were being fed to an alarming number of livestock just to get more pound of meat per feed. And the consequences of that action were serious enough that it's a damn good thing people took notice and started pushing back against it.Just because they have multiple uses doesn't mean Tarant is incorrect. They also use them so they can pack more animals in tighter spaces.

Everything with our problems with antibiotics is because of people and doctors, not fucking antibiotics in feed. It was started by the same dumb fucks who are against Nuclear Power and buy 7 dollar asparagus water from whole foods. The same people who think they are gonna live longer with organic, or that Purdue chickens are never frozen.
Is that your opinion as a professional? How is it only a Dr. and patient problem when the 80% of the antibiotics being used in this country are being fed straight to livestock.
Your platitudes sound pretty damn stupid.

Well I see you're doing your usual fucking shtick. Go google it you insufferable faggot.
Can't win an argument because your position is worthless? Better start with the name calling. I'm glad that the scientific community and the FDA agrees with because it really helps reinforce how little merit your pathetic whines about whole foods shoppers have. The most substantial thing you've posted this page was a picture of delicious costco rotiseries which, if you are interested in actually learning something, are soon o be antibiotic free thanks to the years of mounting evidence against the issue.

He's the same guy who is insanely angry at almonds for requiring the same amount of water as beef.
He's a true american.
Went shopping at whole foods today, ate a couple pieces of 11 bucks a pound candy things while I walked around, I felt like I came out on top.

Ancient already jumped all over this, but antibiotics aren't solely used on a case-by-case basis as a specific treatment for a condition. They probably SHOULD be used that way, but they aren't. Especially with stuff like poultry. It's easier to treat them via feed/water en masse if you can, than about any other method I can think of (we did Terramycin this way...foul, nasty yellow powder into their water). And some things were/are marketed as not just a treatment but also as a preventative measure, meaning that many probably overuse it. Also, what he said about the use of low-dose antibiotics is true...it isn't something he just made up.
Now, whether or not it's a health hazard is a debate that is still ongoing, AFAIK. It doesn't bother me to eat anything that was raised with antibiotics, but if there is some substance to the claim that it can lead to antibiotic resistance bacteria, then yeah, I can admit that's probably a bad thing (if true).
Personally I'd file this under"Maybe an issue...maybe...but Chipotle likes to market it to rubes anyways"

I can't speak to the antibiotics issue, but this picture bothers the hell out of me. Those chickens are massive with about 80% breast meat it looks like. Something unnatural about that, no matter how tasty they might be.
When I buy chickens fresh/frozen, I get the smallest ones I can find. They just seem tastier to me, especially for fried chicken.

ugh i hate these assholes!, not that i buy from the open bins b/c they are disgusting, but what ppl do w/ them does. One time at the coffee rack, i had an asshole put his nose up to the dispenser and sniff. For like a long time, i went, WTF are you doing? he's try to see how "nuttty" it smells. I tell him to grab a bag and pour 1oz in then smell it then, don't sniff from the dispenser that everyone else uses. Then he goes "but that's a waste of beans".

So, lets talk about Halloween Candy
So I'm fishing through my kids halloween candy last night and I find a Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cup. I think to myself "WTF is this concoction of the gods? I have never seen this before in my life"
I love butterfingers
I love peanut butter cups
But this...THIS...this is nothing fit for human consumption
this thing is absolutely putrid
Its like sub-par chocolate filled with a melty, flavorless butterfinger. Blech. Zero crunch, bad texture, bad flavor, just bad.
I've never been so disappointed in a candy/dessert in my entire life

I don't disagree with you in any of this as its all true. I was just speaking from experience as I have multiple friends in the southern part of the state and in South Dakota with dairy and cattle and within the last year or two they've faced stronger and stronger regulations from the FDA on how they can treat. How much they can inject, injection points and so on and so forth and along with some other things it's a pain in the ass for them. One of them has a substantial dairy farm and had an outbreak of hoof rot, hippies lined up in protest because his herd made the local news and how when they interviewed my friend he said they were being treated with antibiotics and would be fine soon. Ignorant people lined up with signs protesting his dairy farm because he used antibiotics.
I'm well aware of the feed issue and I'm find with curbing that.
So yes Ancient, I do know what I'm talking about, I just should have been more specific. My home has been without internet for two days now as construction tore up all the lines coming in to my home and I tend to type as little as possible while on my phone. Also, your trend at confrontation is a bit stale, just trying having a normal conversation with people bro, it'll be okay.
Anyways, yes, butterfingers peanut butter cups suck.
