easy solution is to just heavily tax dairy, livestock and other industries that produce hundreds of billions of bacteria testing grounds (animals) per year at the same time using last-resport antibiotics to spur growth and reap profits. or give extreme tax benefits to those that don't use antibiotics.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
You think paying more for your food will make bacteria stop reacting to selective pressure? Or do you think we can stop relying on 'organic' food?(in the biochemical sense, not the hippie meaning) Either way I've got some bad news for you
If the choice is cheap meat or antibiotics (and yes I know it's not quite that simple) then I'll take antibiotics.
Easy to say when you're wealthy, no so much when you consider yourself healthy but poor.
We got a scare a couple of years back when our teenage son got an eye infection - the doctors and eye hospital went through five different antibiotics before finally finding something that fixed it, which was quite stressful. NB When you are warned not to wear contact lenses in swimming pools - take it seriously! We're almost certain that's how he got the problem.
Now freshwater lakes or oceans under certain conditions I could understand

I've been wearing contacts most of my life and have never heard said warning. Given pools are typically fairly sterile, I'm not sure if understand it. Now freshwater lakes or oceans under certain conditions I could understand

"“It doesn’t matter if it’s fresh water or a chlorinated pool,” Gibbons said. “There are bugs and pathogens that chlorine doesn’t kill, which could potentially cause damage to the cornea, infection or ulcers.”

This is an amazing video[1] from Harvard Medical School released couple of days ago showing evolution of bacteria that evolve in 10 days to become resistant to antibiotics. [1] https://youtu.be/plVk4NVIUh8
