  “Bang on in the middle” of the legend. Well, below the middle of the legend. The bottom half of the legend covers 0 - 50 while the top half covers 50 - 200+. The US is at 31 mg/kg as of 2020

      It’s pretty clear to me. 50 is there safe threshold as mentioned, everything below is safe, marked as blue and everything above is dangerous, marked as increasingly darker red. Looks quite nice and gets the point across imo.

    31mg too much

      It’s impossible to use 0 unless you just want to let animals die from and spread infections. We live in a world in which bacteria and animals have been in an evolutionary arms race for a billion years

        I feel like we shouldn’t be eating meat if we have to jump through so much shit to “make it work”. Putting increasing your tolerance to antibiotics on the top of the cake and it’s a no go for health reasons alone.

      31mg is weak for a grown adult human. That means the average shows widespread low-level use OR high volumes for very low numbers, which is how it’s supposed to be when a patient has poor circulation from a lack of motion.

        This is an average across the entire industry, not an indication of the dosage given to a single animal. Some animals will be in none, and others will be on a clinically appropriate dose as necessary

        If you constantly eat meat with antibiotics in you’re increasing your tolerance to antibiotics no matter the amount. So when you actually need antibiotics they’re going to do fuck all for you

  I mean, we’re doing better than basically every other 1st world country, and those that are beating us don’t have big livestock industries.

    Are Nordic countries invisible to you?

      The U.S. has to pretend that they don’t exist because it would cause them to face a lot of big issues otherwise.

    You must have a very unusual definition of first world.
