I verified this and it’s true

“This is a class Group 1 carcinogen. The new study warns there's NO SAFE amount of ham, bacon, or even pepperoni for human consumption”

Processed meats including ham, bacon, pepperoni are now definitively linked to cancer (Group 1), and newer 2025–2026 studies reinforce thee is no “safe” level that exists for regular consumption

“One flimsy cut is lubricated with over 28 bio stabilizers. It's an ammonia-washed paste glued together with synthetic hydrocolloids. That color is then artificially enforced with a corrosive rust inhibitor called sodium nitrite. Group 1 carcinogen that ranks on the same pedestal as a cigarette. Your high-protein sausages were inhumane scanning for plastic residue and inorganic arsenic contamination”

Additional info:

Many processed meats use mechanically separated meat or binders like hydrocolloids (e.g., carrageenan, xanthan gum) for texture, and ammonia treatments occur in some poultry/beef processing (to kill bacteria), it’s not universally in ham/bacon/pepperoni (but it is used)

The study comes from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization (WHO)

IARC evaluated extensive evidence and classified processed meat (including ham, bacon, pepperoni, hot dogs, sausages, etc.) as Group 1—“carcinogenic to humans.” This is the highest level, based on sufficient evidence that it causes colorectal cancer in humans (with some links to stomach cancer).

Then it’s true, the meek shall inherit the earth when the predators die. Is chicken little trying to preserve himself as he is not a predator? I guess little things like crickets, snails, and tree bark will become delicacies. What wine do you have with Asian Forest Scorpions? Or is it rice wine and at what temperature?

We have pasture land, so the steer is 3/4 grass fed. In fact, he’s back on grass today already! He goes to ‘The Spa’ in April. He’s about 1,300 pounds right now - we’re shooting for 1,500 finished weight, so he’ll get grain mix and hay along with what he grazes.

When all is said and done, it usually runs us about $3.50/# for all cuts. Even at $5.00/# it would be a bargain!

The hog was a little more pricey, but he doesn’t use the processor that we use. ;)

And you’re right - Keep It Local - when you can! :)

So what we have here is “pork is bad“. They’re just softening us up for when they introduce universal Sharia dietary restrictions.

It makes as much sense for you to claim this is an attempt to introduce universal Kosher dietary restrictions.

Pork belly at my Asian Grocery butcher = $3.99 a pound. Salt, brown sugar, pepper. Ten days flip flopping it in the salt. Then load it in the smoker for two days.

Whole slabs of bacon with zero nitrates or chemicals. I have a Hobart Deli Meats slicer. I slice what we need and return the rest to hang in the basement. Oh my is it fantastic!

You can buy “uncured”/no nitrate versions of those meat products mentioned.

It’s been bugging me what I forgot to buy at the grocery store. Ham, that’s what I forgot. I’ll pick it up tomorrow.

Oh I agree with that as far as dietary restrictions go. But as far as I can tell, the Western world is not currently being invaded by hordes of Jewish people with a view towards imposing their laws, dietary and otherwise, on the rest of us. :-)

I have eaten all of that for over 75 years, continuously. I now will be on the lookout for any cancer. Have had none ever.
