Since the fifties of the 20th century, intensive breeding in livestock has increased sharply. An increase that keeps pace with the recent increase in cancer mortality.Cancer is not a pleasant subject. Long was only mentioned whispering about this. Factory-produced and factory-prepared food has everything to do with it. This is for many addicts in animal protein, not a pleasant topic. We would like to eat everything we like.In addition to indicating increased cancer incidence in Western Europe, this book also aims to prevention of cancer and other chronic diseases that occur later in life.

Chronic conditions in the elderly have been increasing for half a century. The last help is increasingly replacing the first aid. Since half a century, our diet has also changed considerably. The share of meat products in our meals has increased significantly. All meat is only produced by artificial insemination. The quality of our food has deteriorated rapidly. The strongly increased meat production is a major cause of chronic aging diseases and global warming. During the ice ages the Cro-Magnon man was forced to eat more meat because there were fewer grains, fruit, nuts and seeds. Will modern man start eating more fruit and vegetables now that the earth is warming up?132 pages

Where rats and mice used to transmit diseases, nowadays the flying rats (bats) are the cause of this COVID-19 pandemic, originating from wildlife in life markets. Coronaviruses had also recently caused the SARS an MERS pandemic.Since Aug 2018 there have been outbreaks of African swine fever in several provinces of China. Up to 200 million pigs have been culled or died due to the disease, while pork output felt by 30%. At the end of 2019, there was a first outbreak of corona virus COVID-19 in Wuhan, which has since been established to be the source of this virus. After the 2013 SARS epidemic, which spread from Hong Kong, Chinese virologists warned earlier that batborne CoVs will re-emerge to cause the next disease outbreak. China is a likely hot spot. Bats live in proximity to humans and farms. The ability to fly of these flying rats makes them wide-ranging, which helps in spreading viruses, and their excreta can spread disease. Bats are host to a higher proportion of zoonoses than all other mammals.On February 24, 2020, the Chinese National People's Congress decided that illegal consumption and trade in wild animals will be "e;severely punished"e;, as well as hunting, trade or transportation of wild animals for consumption.Stopping the sale of wildlife in markets is essential to limit future outbreaks of diseases that pass from animals to humans.

Increased consumption of energy, animal fat and red meat has occurred in different regions of the world after the transition to a more industrialized diet and fast food in these countries.USAWestern EuropeThe NetherlandsMiddle EastEast AsiaPolynesiaFast food and an increase in meat consumption in the West is imitated in other parts of the world. The ceiling of meat and meat products production has already been achieved with the current 7 billion world population. The production of meat (products), poultry, pork and other meat has tripled between 1980 and 2010 and is expected to double again by 2050. The increase in meat and dairy products are only produced through artificial insemination of livestock. Cows are constantly re-fertilized after the birth of the calves by artificial insemination, so that their milk will never stop flowing. Milk, cheese and meat production are inextricably linked.All climate changes show that growing plants for food is much better for the planet than animal breeding for food. Global warming is the greatest threat to all life on earth. All life depends on the oceans. The circulation in the North Atlantic has slowed to the lowest level since centuries. Scientists fear that the delay of the Atlantic Gulf Stream will destroy the fishing industry and lead to a rise in sea level.

In the past many large and small mammals have been domesticated. The population has acquired immunity against the great epidemics of the past. Zoonotic infections like the black plague, smallpox, tuberculosis, measles, typhoid and cholera could be treated with vaccination and antibiotics.Since the middle of the twentieth century we have a new situation, caused by intensive farming. All meat of farmed mammals is only produced by manual insemination of cattle, pigs and rabbits.The population explosion and famine on earth have caused man to artificially inseminate animals and to breed exclusively for consumption. Fast food and an increase in meat consumption in the West are simulated in other parts of the world. Fast food, unnatural food and hamburger consumption lead to obesity and chronic diseases. In the meantime, the number of cancer diseases is increasing and is nowadays prime cause of chronic diseases and premature death in the elderly. The ceiling for meat and meat products has already been reached with the current 7 billion world population.

The interest in the connection shown by the author and confirmed by others  between breeding tropical birds and cancer has expanded to the health risks of the intensive rearing of poultry, pigs and cattle for consumption. Since the fifties of the 20th century, intensive breeding in livestock has increased sharply. An increase that keeps pace with the recent increase in cancer mortality.In the past many large and small mammals have been domesticated. The population has acquired immunity against the great epidemics of the past. Zoonotic infections like the black plague, smallpox, tuberculosis, measles, typhoid and cholera could be treated with vaccination and antibiotics.Since the middle of the twentieth century we have a new situation, caused by intensive farming. All meat of farmed mammals is only produced by manual insemination of cattle, pigs and rabbits. Mad cow disease, swine fever and bird flu are the result of intensive livestock farming. The population is now confronted with a new type of more intensive and intracellular infections with RNA-viruses. Batteries of laying hens and broilers spread leukemia virus in raw egg proteins. Meat cows and dairy cows spread leukemia viruses in the food chain. Fast food, unnatural food and hamburger consumption lead to obesity and chronic diseases. In the meantime, the number of cancer diseases is increasing and is nowadays prime cause of chronic diseases and premature death in the elderly.

In the mid-twentieth century, modern humans took control of the reproductive processesThe sexual revolution has brought us the birth control pill and the artificial insemination of our herds. Humans are the first mammal to have their genitals at their fingertips and finally gain control over reproductive processes. Modern humans also gained control over the reproduction of livestock, including poultryMeat for consumption in the factory industry is still produced exclusively by artificial insemination or by incubators. Caring for own offspring is a fundamental mammalian rightAll mammals must have the ability to care for their offspring themselves. Artificial insemination of livestock in the cow, goat, pig, sheep and rabbit factory farming industry is a gross violation of this fundamental mammalian right. Leukemia viruses in our food chain and explosively spreading Corona viruses are the result of this. All mammals have a basis of life and the right to live without cruel treatment and prolonged detention.If humanity can turn this knob back, the world will be better off.

During the last ice age man was forced to eat more meat because there were fewer grains, fruits, nuts and seeds. Will modern man eat more vegetable food now that the earth is warming up?

Man takes up all space on earth, both in the circle and in the square, more and more animals are being housed and live only to be eaten by man. Coronavirus, African Swine Fever, Bovine Leukemia Virus, Avian Leukemia Virus are all uncontrollable phenomena. Is a pig who suffocates chokingly dead less important than a human who dies chokingly. It is not an animal activist who speaks here, but a doctor who is looking for a solution. The world is turned upside down and our knowledge and insights are increasing rapidly. Stop eating and slaughtering animals and the production of cultured meat will become the solution for climate change and emerging pandemics.

Man has started to use the knowledge and control of reproduction processes in livestock farming. Since the fifties of the 20th century, intensive farming by artificial insemination has increased considerably. At the same time, the number of cancer diseases is on the rise and is nowadays prime cause of chronic diseases and premature death in the elderly.The pig used to be kept as a food reserve for the cold winter months. Hams and sausages etc. We have started to eat more meat without fruit and vegetables.The theme of "e;artificial reproduction in mammals for increasing meat production"e; has never been brought before. Making livestock farming more sustainable is certainly not going to work to prevent global warming and the loss of plant and animal species. To make this book not only a message of doom I do proposals for more plant based food and for energy transition in the form of chemical production of hydrogen for fuel cells. What does energy transition have to do with the damaging consequences of greatly increased meat production? Farmers can repurpose their stalls with a power plant for heat and LED lighting. Strawberries, mushrooms, peppers, lettuce, grapes and pineapples can now also be produced in winter. With local production with a greater supply and diversity, the supply of fruit and vegetables over the equator will decrease.

Since the fifties of the 20th century, intensive breeding in livestock has increased sharply. The increase in meat products and dairy production could only be acheived with artificial insemination of mammals and the animals unilaterally fattening with soy flour, corn and fish meal. The unbridled breeding of animals, through artificial insemination of cattle and with incubators for poultry, has a devastating effect on our health, nature and the climate. Fast food, unnatural food and meat consumption lead to obesity, vitamin deficiencies, chronic diseases and premature death. In many countries cancer is now the main cause of premature death. Successive pandemics with highly pathogenic influenza aviary or coronaviruses from the meat industry will cause increased mortality and bring mankind to the brink of collapse.

Homo sapiens has achieved an ever-increasing hand skill in the vicinity of East Africa. The more those hands could do, the more successful their owners were, so the evolutionary pressure led to an increasing concentration of nerves and highly accurate muscles in thumb and fingers. The brain grew along with it. As a result, people can perform particularly complex tasks with their hands.Homo sapiens also has its reproductive organs within reach. Halfway through the twentieth century, modern man has gotten his reproductive processes under control. Subsequently, man began to apply manual insemination to livestock farming and meat is still produced exclusively by artificial insemination. Intensive livestock farming has brought us new zoonoses by spreading RNA leukemia viruses. At the same time, the number of cancer diseases is on the rise and cancer is now the main cause of chronic diseases and premature death in the elderly. Cardiovascular diseases are in second place and are also the result of over-consumption and fast food.Global warming is largely the result of intensive animal husbandry

All great apes are fructivorous and feed on fruits, vegetables, nuts and beans. About a million year ago chimpanzees reached the warmer regions of Europe and Asia. From Africa via the Middle East, homo sapiens reached Western Europe 45,000 years ago. Homo sapiens has started walking upright. In that period, lions were even greater in numbers than the great apes. Neanderthals were the first to master the art of fire in Europe and have also started to consume meat and animal proteins. With wooden spears and stone axes they controlled lions, bears and other predators. Modern man has become omnivorous after this.Great apes walk and stand on two legs. Only great apes can touch their reproductive organs with the hand. This evolution is both anatomically and functionally significant. Homo sapiens, the modern human, is at the end of the line of evolution. Only modern humans have been able to control reproduction and free themselves from the instinctual process of reproduction in the mid-twentieth century due to increased brain volume. Man is the only living being that has been in control of his own reproduction and the reproduction of all animals and plants on earth for half a century. We are indebted to our natural environment that has shaped modern humans into what they are today. Man is the only mammal that has the knowledge to control the reproduction of all life on Earth. The moral of this is, "e;If man continues to breed and consume animals and plants without restraint, then man as a species will disappear on earth"e;.Our distant ancestors are the great apes. We cannot deny this origin. If humanity returns from omnivore to fructivore with food consisting of vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts and the occasional glass of wine, pandemic zoonoses and catastrophic global warming will be spared.

Only modern man has been able to control the reproductive processes and to free himself from the instinctive process of reproduction in the mid-twentieth century.Artificial insemination techniques are also the result of this insight. The increase in meat products and dairy production in the West could only be achieved with artificial insemination of livestock and the animals unilaterally fattening with soy flour, corn and fish meal.The unbridled breeding of animals, through artificial insemination of cattle and with incubators for poultry, has a devastating effect on our health, nature and the climate. Fast food, unnatural food and meat consumption lead to obesity, vitamin deficiencies, chronic diseases and premature death. Cancer is now the main cause of premature death.118 pages

Our Western health and hygienic insights have drastically reduced infant mortality since the 19th century. In the Far East and Africa, not everyone has clean drinking water and their own sanitary facilities. Large differences, on the other hand, are found worldwide in cancer deaths, which are spectacularly lower in India, China and Japan. An increasing proportion of animal proteins and fats in the diet in the West is the cause of this.Most of diseases in the temperate zones came in Western countries from diseases of our livestock (such as cattle, pigs, and chickens) with which our ancestors lived in close contact after those animal species had been domesticated. Diseases as plague and cholera can be controlled with antibiotics, the leukemia viruses ALV and BLV are much more difficult or even inadequate to treat.

Fast food and an increase in meat consumption in the West is imitated in other parts of the world. The ceiling of meat and meat products production has already been achieved with the current 7 billion world population. The production of meat (products), poultry, pork and other meat has tripled between 1980 and 2010 and is expected to double again by 2050.

Global warming is the greatest threat to all life on earth. All life depends on the oceans. The circulation in the North Atlantic has slowed to the lowest level since centuries. The delay of the Atlantic Gulf Stream will destroy the fishing industry and lead to a rise in sea level.We are at a crucial junction where we can go both on the right and the wrong side. That urgency and the need to make the right decisions are the subject of this book.

For half a century, the Earth has given man dominion over his own reproduction and the reproduction of all animals and plants on Earth. We are therefore indebted to repair the damage we cause. Meat and eggs for consumption are now exclusively produced by artificial insemination and with breeding and incubators.  Coronavirus, African swine fever, annual Influenza viruses are the result of diseases in animals that can also pass to humans. More than 300 million farm animals in the EU spend their entire lives in a cage for slaughter and consumption. Pigs, weaning pigs, rabbits, dairy cowes, calves, milk goats, lambs, laying hens, broiler chickens and minks for their fur. The Covid-19-20-21... pandemic resulting in the global blockade shows how vulnerable the world is. We fight with windmills against the meat industry, COVID and climate change!!!
