    unless cell cultured meats come in a big way or there is a drastic reduction for demand of meat, overuse of antibiotics in the meat industry will continue which will just keep driving antibiotic resistance in bacteria even further. I don’t really have faith in governments to regulate this (doing so would basically kill factory farming) so relying on new treatments is all I can suggest.

        That’s the easiest solution, the best for the environment and probably our collective health. I just dont see it as realistic to do. People have an emotional attachment to meat and the industry has a powerful lobby in basically every government. I encourage everyone to do their part in reducing consumption but I think fighting for systemic regulation for meat access is an impossible battle. Cell culture/meat alternatives to price out conventional meat over time and advances in science to combat antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria.
