Bye Bye Meat Industry

The sexual revolution is only half a century old. The centuries-long use of sheep intestine and since 1844 Goodyear rubber as a condom was not common. The pill, IVF and artificial insemination brought the breakthrough in the middle of the twentieth century. The acquired knowledge has also led to intensive breeding with animals. As a result, cancer-causing viruses now occur in breeding animals and in the meat and dairy industry. Harmful viruses such as Avian (poultry) Leukemia Virus (ALV) and Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV) are detected in raw egg proteins and meat products. Once nested in the stem cells of intestinal tract or mammary gland tissue, they cause unbridled growth. By intensively breeding of animals the territory of the chicken, the rabbit, the parakeet, the cow and the goat is exceeded. Bird flu, swine flu, Q fever and gastroenteritis are the result. Smallest bacteria such as chlamydia pneumoniae from tropical birds and harmful leukemia viruses from cattle and poultry spread over animal caretakers and consumers. 

The Netherlands, Belgium and England have the highest lung cancer deaths in the world for years, and mortality from breast and prostate cancer is also very high worldwide compared to other countries.

Our Western health care and hygienic insights have greatly reduced child mortality since the 19th century. Large differences, on the other hand, are found worldwide in cancer deaths, which are spectacularly lower in India, China and Japan. An increasing and larger share of animal proteins and fats in the daily Western diet is the cause of this.

The exchange of major epidemic infectious diseases was one-sided, because most of diseases in the temperate zones came to us humans from diseases of the 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, smallest intracellular bacteria such as Chlamydiae and the leukemia viruses ALV and BLV are much more difficult or even inadequate to treat. 

Many people have seen for themselves what goes on at so-called “mega farms” and slaughterhouses; the process of turning animals into food has come into a higher gear. They’ve watched the documentaries that tell of environmental havoc caused by animal agriculture, they change from diet and eat now very little animal food, with the intention of crowding it out with better, plant-based options as much as possible.
