These fast food chains get an '''F''' for antibiotics use in beef supply | Fox Business

I wonder if, for these reports, do they test the actual processed meat or is it just the fact that the farms they get them from will use antibiotics on a sick animal. My family has been in the cattle business for nearly 100 years. A few years back my grandpa came up on a local list like this because he admitted to using antibiotics. He only uses them on sick cattle to cure an infection. Hell, I give em to my kids and dogs too if needed. He literally had records of his antibiotics usage and it was on 10 cattle out of over a 1000 in the last years time. Also, when given you have to give an allotted time for the medicine to clear before butcher or for milk cattle, before the milk can be sold. That shit is rigorously tested. I know there are shady people, but this antibiotic thing gets ridiculous sometimes. I sure as hell dont want to eat meat with infection in it. Just my two cents.

Alot of the industrial farms just give that shit to every animal on a regular basis as a precaution. Imo, once an animal has been sick and given meds, it should be removed from the food supplying herd. Use it a as a breeding animal or something but not for meat or milk. The ones that got an F are also most likely sourcing meat from other countries where antibotics are sprayed on the butchered meat so that nothing grows in the exposed flesh during processing/shipping... Which is totally different than a single cow out of 100 getting a short dose of antibiotics once for an infection or something. I dont want to eat anything thats been white-washed with antibiotics and shipped in from China. Lol

I agree with you there, Irishoak.
