The amount of antibiotics shunted into these animals is sub-therapeutic, which isn't high, at all... The likelihood of much being left in the meat, post-slaughter, isn't that high, anyway... and the levels that MAY be within the meat, are far too low to actively effect us... Those used for non-medicinal purposes, within livestock, are also too low to actively effect any bacteria/diseases within them, which means it's not helping the bacteria/diseases become more resilient to said antibiotics.

I'm happy for my meat to be cheap... I enjoy eating a well balanced, nutritionally-sound diet, and, more than that - a completely natural diet... Vegetarianism and Vegan-ism are not natural, and are not as healthy as a well-balanced meat diet... The more expensive that meat becomes, the more malnourished we'll become, 'cept the richer amongst us, of course... So, until there's some other means of making meat cheap? I'm all for whatever they do, 'cos I refuse to eat a herbivore's diet, when I'm part of an omnivorous species, that requires many things from the meat that we evolved to digest.

(*Note: Anyone who's going to come here, and tell me that vegetarianism or vegan-ism are perfectly acceptable/natural forms of diet... Tell me, when was the last time you heard of someone's gut being unable to process, say, chicken, or beef? My girlfriend knows a lady who's unable to process most plant matter, including most grain... but she's more than able to process meats, still. We can become allergic to all manner of plant, but meat? No, sir. Why, my vegetarian and vegan friends, do you think that is? ... 'cos it's the most natural thing for us to eat. Our brains need it. Our bodies need it. Nothing you say or offer can change that fact... Well, other than pro-vegetarian/vegan biased websites with poorly researched pseudo-facts... but, well, to believe the crap they say, is like saying you believe George W. Bush was an intelligent man who absolutely KNEW that there were W.M.D in Iraq, or that there is a just reason for the war to STILL be going on, even to this day.)
