    Actual question: Is it only EU though? I can’t really imagine that any other meat industry on the planet can exist without massive use of antibiotics… pathogens are natures way to deal with crowded overpopulation after all.

    Or do we just have reliable data for EU farms?

    Don’t get me wrong: Modern meat industry is a huge catastrophe and we should aim for ending this nightmare once and for all… but I wonder why the headline is EU specific.

      It is definitely not European-specific. US, and likely plenty of other countries, have the same problem. Factory farming is frankly insanity no matter how you look at it.

        I think an interesting tweak to it is that the EU generally tries to portray American farming is so much worse than EU farming, yet EU farming still has some of these bad habits
