I&#x27;d like to preface this response by making it clear that I personally avoid eating animals that were raised on antibiotics, however the argument that the onus must be placed on the individual is absolutely ridiculous.<p>Even though this is a &quot;hot button topic&quot;, I don&#x27;t think eating meat that you can afford (IE antibiotic raised meat) can possibly be compared to race or gender inequalities.<p>Eating a factory cheeseburger is akin to racism? Seriously? This is a logic fallacy.<p>Racism comes from the individual. It stems from stupidity and hatred and is directed against people who don&#x27;t have the same nationality or skin color as you. Eating an antibiotic laden slab of beef due to lack of finances cannot possibly be placed on the same level as this.<p>I&#x27;ll also point out that the only way to real change in gender and race inequalities have come about is through government or self-regulation in industries... the same thing I&#x27;m arguing for when it comes to the agricultural industry.<p>Go ahead and switch to all natural blah blah blah... you can now sleep at night knowing you&#x27;re no longer part of the problem. But when you wake up in the morning, the problem is still there. You have accomplished nothing. But hey, when the world burns at least you can say &quot;I told you so&quot;.
