Uh, yeah, the supposed mechanics of antibiotic resistance isn't antibiotics in the meat you buy, it's the bacteria on feedlots being constantly exposed to the low-level antibiotics in the feed and water and being spread to the surrounding community via the workers.

Imagine a link to information on pig feedlots and MRSA here.

Also, chickens aren't called cattle in the US.
