    About this ebook

    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 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 production of meat (products), poultry, pork and other meat tripled between 1980 and 2010 and is expected to double again in 2050.

    Global warming is largely the result of intensive livestock production. 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?

      Farming Transition for Healthier Aging and as a solution for Global Warming - Peter A.J. Holst MD PhD

      Introduction

      The interest in the connection shown by the author between breeding tropical birds and lung cancer has expanded to the health risks of the intensive breeding 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.

      The bull runner went with the bull to farms where a cow had to be mated.

      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 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 production of meat (products), poultry, pork and other meat tripled between 1980 and 2010 and is expected to double again in 2050

      50 years of artificial insemination in mammals

      The increase in meat and dairy products is only achieved with artificial insemination of cattle. The production of milk, cheese and meat is inextricably linked. The cow must give birth to as many calves as possible for milk, cheese and meat. Female calves grow up to be dairy cows, bulls go to the meat industry. As a result, carcinogenic viruses are now found in cattle and in the meat and dairy industry. Harmful viruses such as Avian (poultry) leukemia virus (ALV) and Bovine (cattle) leukemia virus (BLV) are found in raw egg proteins and meat products. Harmful leukemia viruses from cattle and poultry have spread to animal caretakers, employees in the meat and poultry industry and consumers (Johnson 2010, Blair 1982).

      Global warming is largely the result of intensive livestock production. 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?

      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 artificial reproduction in mammals for increasing meat production 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 food and farming
