Antibiotic use in farming is now rampant. How meat is produced in China may mean the drugs you need here won’t work, says Prof Devi Sridhar, chair of global public health at the University of Edinburgh
The singular products need to be checked. If consumption of plant-based meat would increase there is a non-zero chance of usage of lesser quality ingredients or the seeking of new additives to compete and produce more while minimizing cost, and then we would be at the starting point.
We at least wouldn’t be at the same starting point since regardless of what happens, we’d still be with much lower environmental impact, zoonetic disease risk for society at large, number of animals in factory farms, etc.
Plant-based foods have a significantly smaller footprint on the environment than animal-based foods. Even the least sustainable vegetables and cereals cause less environmental harm than the lowest impact meat and dairy products
