Step 3: even worse, to every pig and cow, to make them grow faster in worse conditions.
I think the main problem is in lack of awareness. People don't understand that antibiotics have downsides. But how to spread awareness without swinging the pendulum too far and creating an ugly stepsister of the anti-vax movement? It certainly seems that humanity doesn't have much capacity for nuanced thought when it comes to "chemicals".

My argument stems from stories from India of newborns getting multidrug resistant bacteria shortly after birth, presumably from the hospital they were born in because standard medical practice in India is to be given antibiotics for even a minor cough (I have been there long enough and witnessed this firsthand). It’d be really cool if pharmacies there would put up more barriers to distributing these!
