Even though we don't eat meat, this doesn't sound good:
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has proposed new
standards for livestock and meat marketing claims, which will mislead
consumers, create giant loopholes to benefit factory farms, and spell
disaster for farmers who raise their animals without antibiotics.
Urge USDA Chief of the Standardization Branch, William T. Sessions to
resist this assault on consumer choice by withdrawing and rethinking
these proposed claims and standards.
