That's easy. Stop eating meat. The meat industry loves the stuff. It allows them to cram more animals in the same space by preventing them becoming sick and with the added bonus of gaining weight faster so faster profit.

That's just part of the problem unfortunately. The other part is overprescription, don't expect or demand to have antibiotics prescribed for every cold. And if you do get them prescribed: finish the course, instead of stopping when you think things are better and leaving a colony of (somewhat) resistant bugs alive, which now stand a much better chance of gaining dominance.

I dislike comments which are like, it’s so easy.. just do this! (Not to pick on you specifically good Lemmy-er). I respect you want to help in some fashion.

Often it was that straightforward to ‘fix’, would we be in the mess we are in? ‘Quick/easy fixes’ got us into this mess.

I believe you can’t ’so easily’ change people’s minds and hearts and opinions overnight and have suddenly everyone be hyper conscious of meat eating or whatever problem is in the crosshairs. Change takes time. Change takes courage. Change takes commitments.

I've should've added that /s after all.

Yeah, we can't legally call it soy milk so it's now soy drink on the package. And the jury is still out if a veggie burgers may be called a burger. The industry is strong.

I’m already there! Not for ethical reasons in particular, but because of my environmental values.
