This is pretty gross.
Basically, both consumer pressure and regulations are trying to get these restaurants to use less anti-biotics in the food we shovel into our faces. What's wrong with anti-biotics? Well....
"These drugs have historically been given to animals that are not sick, to accelerate weight gain and prevent disease in crowded and unsanitary industrial farming conditions," wrote the authors, who come from six public interest groups including the Natural Resources Defense Council, Consumers Union and the Center for Food Safety.
So, basically, they are feeding and keeping the animals in disgusting conditions that are so bad the animals get sick from various disease. Instead of, you know, making the conditions better, they just pump these animals full of anti-biotics. Smart.
Despite many chains cutting back, experts worry it's not enough to stave off development of "superbugs" that can't be killed by some of our current medicines.
Thanks a lot, Applebees.
Check the list and check your eating habits. Anit-biotic burgers are nasty.
