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.

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
