There's nothing wrong with Chick-fil-A selling chicken with antibiotics, and there's nothing wrong with Mark Zuckerburg being clever about how he spends his money.
If you don't like Chick-fil-A, don't eat there.
If you don't like Facebook, don't use it.
If you don't like the tax code, lobby Congress or do something about it. But don't blame Zuck for being smart within the confines of the law.

But there is: antibiotic agriculture is breeding bacterial resistance, and imposing huge costs on society in the form of impending epidemics of diseases that we once thought were conquered. "I'm sorry your child is dead from staph."
In other headlines[1], Chick-fil-A switches to antibiotic-free chicken!! Yay, good feelings for Chick-fil-A!! (Fine print - still serving chicken chock full of antibiotics through 2019.)
Instead of honoring people and corporations today for ostensibly, possibly, maybe doing something good in the distant future, let's hold the adoration until the time that they actually do it.
