How to choose your meats!
I am amazed how high is the consumption of antibiotics in livestock in Cyprus comparing with other European and non European countries.
Out of 192 countries, in 2020 Cyprus was the 12th highest in antibiotic consumption, Greece was 58th whereas Sweden and Norway were the countries with the least consumption worldwide.
Also surprised to see Australia ranking 15 whereas New Zealand was 157. Is the consumption of antibiotic use a reflection of where Big Pharma is deeply rooted?
That said, I still do recommend everyone to eat mostly meat and animal foods but choose your meat wisely.
