It is my understanding that you quitting big meat, doesn't affect your risk. If you are exposed to a new drug resistant pathogen that was the result of anti-biotics in cattle, chicken, pork, etc, it doesn't matter if you even eat meat.
That said am I interpreting this right? How much of a risk does the use of antibiotics in meat present to a vegetarian?

- biorach 4y agolong-term yes, you're right - everyone is at risk due to over-use of antibiotics
- m000 4y agoI think quitting big meat is more about voting with your wallet, than directly reducing your risk from their antibiotics abuse.
