Science/Environment Sausages and bacon - how long?

[Lester Burnham]

The International Agency for Research on Cancer has added processed meat to the same group 1 category of cancer-causing agents as tobacco smoke and asbestos. Unprocessed red meat has been classified as a probable carcinogen in its group 2A list that also contains glyphosate, the active ingredient in many weedkillers.

Will sausages and bacon be banned? Will supermarkets be forced to keep them in a locked cabinet and sell them in plain packages?

I see a few snags in that ham-fisted approach. There's clearly a lot at steak here.

 

[Sydney Bloods]

red meat represents 24% of all agriculture. the answer is ******* long time.

Nothing will happen.

Except for the added extra to a vegans smugness

So it is a choice between dying young and being happy or living to an old age and being miserable. Give me red meat, bacon and sausages for every meal thanks!

 

[Gough]

I'm shocked that eating bacon all the time could lead to health problems.

 

[Fuzzy Wuzzy Bear]

I have an increased risk of bowel cancer so when I'm done bulking in a few weeks I'll ditch the red meats (I eat it every day since I need the protein) and probably only eat them occasionally. It'll be mostly Salmon. If I was older I probably wouldn't eat as much as I do.

Seeing as you are a hunter you won't have to worry about processed meats.

I'm rooted.

A drag on the durrie between bites on my bacon butty

Hasn't this all being known for a long time?

It would be even worse if you wore a bra...

NEW YORK – Gwyneth Paltrow is at it again, disseminating unfounded medical advice through her widely-read lifestyle website, Goop.com, angering women and doctors everywhere.

Goop’s most recent email newsletter included an article that resurrected the long-discredited and fear-inducing claim that too-tight bras cause breast cancer.​

Eat fast - die young.

Imagine how mad it would be if a senior figure in government said abortions cause cancer?

 

[Ruck Machine]

When they can grow meat in a lab for cheap!

Let's start a list:
Causes of Cancer

Sausages
Bacon
Abortions
Mobile Phones

Yes, Go for it. PLEEEEEZZZZEEE.

There is so much hate from the Left. I like it when you show your real colours!

 

[Lester Burnham]

Imagine how mad it would be if a former senior figure in government said abortions cause cancer?

EFA

But how mad would it be if someone pointed out to him that God causes both?

I have been a vegetarian for twenty years - I find it mystifying why meat-eaters hate people who have made a personal choice for ethical reasons.

Because you're all pale, granola chewing, sandal wearing hippys.

 

[Lebbo73]

Ethical reasons? Fudge me. Health reasons. Fair enough. But you are still going to cop flak!

Why?

 

[madmug]

What! I just want to see you being happy & enjoying yourself.

So go ahead & stuff your face with the little meaty products to your large intestines content. Bon appetit.

 

[Lebbo73]

Why?

Why is it unethical to eat meat? Those bloody cavemen and women obviously should of died out from starvation.

If I keep chowin' down on cured piggy that may well be an option
