Agreed, I don't know what the fuck they were thinking. It seems like a no-brainer when you think about it but the execution was awful,
whatchamacallit is the "low tier" of Hersheys and does not use real cocoa, only vegetable oil.
the hershey's bar is "top tier" and will never use "substitute" oils, here compare the recipe
There is an argument to be made that growth promoting antibiotics should not be used because it could increase antibiotic resistant bacteria. I believe that most antibiotics that are used in this way are ones that aren't used in human medicine but regardless I don't have a problem with people being against this. HOWEVER, "all natural" doesn't just rule out this practice, but all use of antibiotics in food animals. For example, we sold our calves as "all natural" this year and a month before they sold one of them got sick and I had to give him a shot. I also had to notch his ear and remove his RFID tag to ensure that he wouldn't be sold with the rest of the calves. For now there is still a viable market for animals that are not "all natural" so I will sell him separately, probably for $2-400 less than if I had not given him a shot. The concern is that this "antibiotic free" marketing term will lead to there not being a market for animals that have been treated for sickness at some point in their life and it will lead to unethical farmers just letting their animals get sick and possibly die or lying about treating them to avoid their animals being labeled as unfit for food even though their meat is absolutely fine to eat and contains no antibiotics.
On the other hand in the big bag o candy we bought there were snicker's peanut butter sqares, basically a snicker's and reese's peanut butter cup in one, it was amazing.
so i'm totally ignorant on farm/animal stuff i eat. Does livestock live w/o antibiotics at all? like when a calf is popped outta momma, does it get a few injections (like human babies do cuz of diseases and shit) or does it just get a spray and wash and runs around for a few days and if it starts to snort snot, you pump it up with meds?
This is what I was trying to get at, I figured if anyone in here could explain it better it would be you. I just help my friends, I don't live it like they and you do. Thanks for the insight sir.
ok, do you think hippies confuse vaccinations w/antibiotics or vice versa? just like how was ignorant they get anything w/ a needle?
Yeah, I really like the peanut butter snickers squares. I think I posted here a while ago about how disappointed I was in the Twix peanut butter variant; most of my disappointment stemmed from the fact that Snickers peanut butter is so amazing, I was expecting the same from Twix.
