      I was pretty clear to be quoting YOU on the antibiotic quote. I can’t believe your audacity to spread misinformation without researching it first. Do your own homework.

        What the heck are you talking about? I work in the meat industry, non-medical antibiotics is extensively used in poultry in the US and many other countries to cause them to grow larger. It was discovered in the 50s that continuous antibiotic use in poultry caused them to grow substantially faster. This is also done in many other livestock animals.

        As for the first half of my statement, I was agreeing with their correction that growth hormones have been banned for some time but I was pointing out that this is often confused with antibiotic use for growth which is still very much a thing.
