Bye bye Antibiotic Chickens


🐔Fast food chains like McDonald’s, Chick-fil-A, Panera Bread, Chipotle, and Whole Foods are moving toward removing antibiotics from the food we consume to help combat antibiotic-resistant diseases in humans. What will the effects be on costs at the restaurant, supermarket prices, and the cost and changes required in farm production? Does this seem like a good move? Why? Do the math!

In this updated activity, students will explore the costs and changes involved in this shift by applying concepts like percentage increase, ratios, and unit rates

📝 Suitable for Grades 5–7

⏰ 45–60 minutes, depending on the depth of discussion including the starter activity
