Quick Messenger Service was actually the first place I applied to, but after a couple of weeks they still haven't gotten back to me. I don't think I've tried Zap yet, so maybe I will: For the time being I'm more worried about getting experience than making money, so a low-intensity company might almost be a good thing. I'm grateful to you and your friend for the information.

The antibiotics are a direct consequence of factory farming: Specifically the practice of feeding corn to cows when their gastric systems were never intended to handle it. The hormones are a consequence of greedy producers (also ultimately the reason for cornfeeding), they speed up production. You can buy beef containing none of those things from places like the aforementioned Mennonite farm: Kinder to the animals, easier on the environment, healthier for the consumer, but slightly more expensive (due to lopsided farming subsidies, but I won't get started on that). Although of course there's nothing wrong with being a vegetarian if circumstances allow.

Feel better soon.
