>>> We also give them a lot of additional products with side effects, such antibiotics. The effect of the mix of all those on the human health is still unknown

What is known is the effect on human health of eating diseased meat, and the effects on animals that must live infested with parasites. We certainly do pump too many antibiotics into our cattle, but that doesn't mean all drugs are always bad for us or them.

Not sure how you made that classification so narrow with such a strange statement.

This doesn't really justify routinely giving antibiotics to all food animals, regardless of their health, though.
