Unfortunate the only nation who has the power to convince others joining this ban, is one of the worst abusers of antibiotics.
I'm curious as to just exactly how you think the US is going to convince China, Russia, India, etc to ban antibiotics? The US could obviously afford to do so, as the incremental cost in the price of animal protein (due to smaller yields) could be absorbed by modifications to eating habits or redistribution models (i.e. food stamps).
I'm not sure the same could be said in some of the countries that are much larger and have huge difficulties with food production/distribution already.
