    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.

    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.

    Demagoguery, something that Socrates critiqued as a product of democratic systems.

    Socrates imagined an election between a doctor and a candy store owner. The doctor would tell the populace what they didn’t want to hear.
    As Socrates described it, the candy store owner would say of the physician that he works many evils on you. He hurts you, gives you bitter potions, tells you not to eat and drink whatever you like. What fun is that? The candy store owner, however, would offer sweets and tasty things. He would appeal to what people wanted, not what they needed. He would provide easy and popular answers to all their difficult problems

    unfortunately we have too many candy store politicians across the globe.
