Hello Captain Trips: The risk is real: ‘We have already run out of antibiotics’ according to experts

[KT2000]

7. In 1928 when Fleming

discovered penicillin, he warned of antibiotic resistance because he had already found it in his early research. The majority of antibiotics we are exposed to are in the food supply - meat products. Some of these animals already harbor antibiotic resistant bacteria.

This huge increase in use was done with the knowledge that antibiotic resistance is a real threat. Even now, with proof in our hospitals every day, the best that was done was to discourage the use of antibiotics in animals raised for human consumption.
They will not stop using the antibiotics because it saves money.
It is the "free market' at work.
