There is growing evidence that even the widespread use of common, low grade antibiotics can cause bacteria to become resistant (by mutation) to the rarely use newer "super antibiotics". Also most antibiotics used in the USA are only used to make your grocery store meat cheaper, to grow the livestock faster so they consume less feed and water, and time to market is shorter.
I am all in favor of low income people having lower cost protein, this should lower diabetes and obesity due to highly refined carbohydrate diets etc. but some common sense is necessary. A diet high in unrefined legumes helps and will not necessarily cause you to lose your job due to gassy outbursts.
This "documentary" is one sided but still worth watching:
