I grew up going with my mom to the butcher, and the greengrocer, and the grocer. Went every day to get food for the next day. Now I don't eat meat and only buy hormone/antibiotic-free or organic produce and other groceries. I read somewhere that something like 98% of all antibiotics sold in this country go into the animals we eat every day. Part of the reason I stopped eating meat eons ago.
