    I knew crops used pesticides and stuff, why would they use antibiotics too?

        That’s not agriculture though, crops are. And crops are at least included in agriculture, even if you would expand the definition to also include animals, which I wouldn’t.

          Animal agriculture is absolutely agriculture. That’s why there’s a term for it, called animal agriculture.
