Having had my son suffer from an antibiotic resistant eye infection, if its a choice between low cost meat and useful antibiotics I'll go for the latter every time.

It's not like anyone in Europe or the US is actually suffering from a lack of meat is it?

[He's fine - but we were terrified he might lose the sight in one eye for a while].

I am not suggesting that antibiotics in meat are a good thing, but I am pointing out the reality that antibiotic-free meat is a luxury item.

<strike>antibiotic-free</strike> meat is a luxury item.

Unless you hunt.

It's not a sustainable solution... wait, scratch that. Factory farming is not a sustainable solution, hunting is not even in the same ballpark as any viable solution to providing as much people as we have with regular meat meals.

And then even if, you'd have a resurgence of people sick and dying from parasites and other stuff you catch from improperly handled meat.

If you're proposing a law that allows the people who buy chicken at Aldi to hunt people who want to shame them for doing it, I'm right there with you.
