And the use of antibiotics worries me mainly because of the development of resistance, not my own individual health when eating the meat.
But, that kind of is the point, right? If you eat those antibiotics which are in the meat, your chances of falling ill due to resistance are much higher, so your individual health does suffer.
Otherwise I agree with you, cutting down on antibiotics isn't a big deal, and we should all encourage it! We're one of the few countries which uses them in a large excess anyway... I don't know if it's all in the hands of the vets though (since they make money on it, and they, like you, are probably more inclined to go for personal profit rather than the animal's heath overall). Also, sedating animals before they're killed or neutered (which still doesn't always happen) doens't cost the consumer more than €0,10 cents on the price tags in the supermarkets, which is another issue though.
By now, I'd say you can almost guess my further points of view on these matters, so I'll stop my endless rants
