Earlier this week, meat lovers everywhere bemoaned the results of a new study released by the World Health Organization that declared processed meats such as sausages, bacon, and ham to be carcinogenic to humans-- lumping the beloved proteins into the same category as cigarettes and asbestos.
But the news for carnivores got worse. WHO research also labeled red meats like non-cured pork, beef, and lamb as "probably carcinogenic.â
Amid the outcry from meat producers and lovers everywhere was a particularly long Facebook post from carnivore-centric celebrity chef Michael Symon. Symon, best known as a co-star of ABC's "The Chew", who penned a cookbook âCarnivore: 120 Recipes for Meat Lovers," called the study a "witch hunt" and a "disservice" for lumping in mass produced meat with âcrafted artisan products.â

I agree. Offal is awful
18% of leftists will make you so miserable, you might wish you would die.
From my cold dead hands!
Meh, that’s just cultural bias talking.
I know a lot of people that think the same way, but as soon as I get them to taste the liver dumpling soup from the Brauhaus, they change their tune!
[[In fact, it means if 5% of the population will get it, 6% of those who eat processed meats will get it.]]
Exactly - You stand m ore of a chance getting cancer from feeding a woodstove in the winter- than you do from eating processed meat-
The who tried to equate eating meat with smoking cigarettes- what a lie that is- smoking raises your risk far greater than eating meat- far more-
a 1% increase is nothing- absolutely nothing- 6% is so low a risk as to be nearly non existant- Now, had it raised the chance of getting cancer fro m5% to 25% then yeah- perhaps think about not eating processed meat- but raising it to 6%? Pfft!
My thoughts exactly. If this report is true, lions, tigers and bears should be dropping like flies.
I never cared for deer meat except perhaps a few tiems a year- Bear meat- it really depends on the bear- I’ve had absolutely delicious bear meat, and some really greasy awful meat-
Moose meat- Bleh! Never had good moose meat-
Never had pheasant- not too many where we are-
57 muslim countries own the UN.
It’s just a bad attempt at rhyming...
That's why Chester eats Cheetos!
Absolute NWO lie. If bacon caused cancer the South would be an unpopulated wasteland. :-)
