[QUOTE="chicken farmer, post: 914199, member: 18145"] Whats the first thing kids order at a fast food place? Chicken strips, nuggets etc as finger food.Low cost industrial raised fast food chicken uses a lot of antibiotics to put it mildly. Jim[/quote] I work for a company that produces fast food chicken. The company I work for does use antibiotics in most of the chickens we raise, but every customer we sell to requires us to test meat and fat samples from every flock for antibiotic residue. The flock must test negative before going to slaughter. The antibiotics that are used in poultry feed are not used in human medicine either. With that being said I don't think people from the poultry industry should bash the beef or pork industry, and I don't think the beef or pork industry should bash the poultry industry. I think they should all work together to change some of the myths out there about eating meat and poultry because when regulations are passed it effects all of us. I know I am new here and you folks don't know me. I own a few cows but I make my living from chickens. I'm not trying to criticize anyone just think that there no one meat producing industry that is to blame for antibiotic resistance. I believe antibiotics use in humans have alot to do with it also. I'm rarely sick and don't go to the doctor often, but I don't know if I have ever gone and not been given some form of antibiotic. [/QUOTE]
