This is extremely scary because outbreaks like Swine-Flu are becoming a huge risk that could potentially whipe out millions of people on earth. Lastly, the relationship between the biggest national killers like heart disease, cancer, and stokes has a strong correlation with meat consumption…

As population increases, so does the demand for food resources. Since only a small percentage of the world population is vegetarians, animal proteins remain an important source for fulfilling basic nutritional needs. In addition to increasing population growth, Van Huis (2012) states that the recent economic bubble in developing countries in…

Back in the early 1900s, most people are expected to die from pneumonia, tuberculosis, influenza and any gastrointestinal infections due to the lack of treatment. Even with new diagnostic technologies and therapeutic capacity, health professionals, especially physicians were unable to deal with diseases that were bacteria related. It was not until 1928 that Sir Alexander Fleming decided to create a ‘’magic bullet that target only disease-causing microbes and not the host’’ (Aminov, 2010). This…
