When it comes to animal agriculture, most animals aren\\u2019t living freely pasturing in wide-spaced green areas. Breeders and animal farms are more likely to be torturous prisons than the happy Uncle Bill farm that appears on the logo of your favorite hamburgers. And guess what? It comes at a cost to your health.

The animal industry is regulated differently by each country, but there\\u2019s one thing in common: meat from sick animals can\\u2019t be commercialized, but with the living conditions of the animals, they are inevitably going to get sick. So \\u201cnaturally\\u201d, the animals in farms are medically treated to prevent or combat infectious diseases, most of which are treated with antibiotics.
