Antibiotic use in farming is now rampant. How meat is produced in China may mean the drugs you need here won’t work, says Prof Devi Sridhar, chair of global public health at the University of Edinburgh
Do you live in a developing country where the average citizen just gained regular access to chicken, beef, and pork?
I don’t, I’m American. But I know the history of when we went thru it, and that the only reason Americans eat so much meat, is because it was a status symbol to eat meat everyday.
And that it plays a large role in why Americans are so obese. Meat is very calorie dense, and Americans tend to “fill up” on meat at every meat, and maybe eat some token sides, but they’re usually deep fried potatoes.
I’m definitely not vegan, but meat is like alcohol, in moderation there’s nothing wrong with it. But if the thought of going even a day without it causes stress…
We need to start treating it like any other addiction. With the way the gut biome interfaces with the brain, it’s really not that much of a stretch to look at like that. But it doesn’t take long on a better diet to change your gut flora and solve the meat cravings
It’s easier to stop a developing country from falling into that trap, than to pull a country out of it after they’re used to it for generations.

Nope, it’s been a staple food for ages and is part of a lot of traditional dishes.
Also are you sure it’s not because of the high fructose corn syrup you put in everything?
Did that ever happen to anyone?
Ok … now this is just getting silly, You lost me.

Filthy addict!
Then you’re not who the article is about…
So what? I still very much doubting that knowing about antibiotics resistance will dissuade people, developing countries or not.
You commented on article that’s not about your demographic, saying it doesn’t apply to you…
And you’re confused why that’s relevant?
If you saw a headline about how male penguins sit on eggs, would you reply with:
And then get upset when someone asked if you were a male penguin?
You can actually have knowledge about penguins egg sitting behaviour without being a penguin.
