Have you had your carcinogens today?

[Joshua Plumtree]

According to lovely Dr Hilary on Radio 2 most of us Brits don't eat nearly enough processed meat to get anywhere near the level that The WHO thinks is dangerous. So you're all a bunch of lightweights!


Plus - most beef burgers and sausages in this country are made from real meat, so don't qualify.

About to have a pizza with spicy lamb (kebab) topping and a couple of beers.
The way I look at it, somethings going to kill me eventually!

I'm a meatatarian. I live by the steak, die by the steak.

I'm a meatatarian. I live by the steak, die by the steak.

I'm just back from shopping and have minced steak and cubed steak for meals in the week, as well as chicken for a stir fry
I like my meat...oh wait, did that sound wrong?

 

[Drago]

Sounded good to me, Miss Lass!

This time next week it will be good for us!

No meat for 31 years and no alcohol for 3.

Unless somebody comes up with evidence to show that strawberries/grapes/banana/natural yoghurt, tea with skimmed milk, or salad with cottage cheese are carcinogenic then I should be ok!

(I'll probably die of boredom instead ... )

Funnily enough some of the research that allegedly showed how eating lots of meat and other fatty foods was bad for your heart actually showed some concerns about higher cancer rates among those avoiding all the 'fatty' foods and using lots of vegetable based products (marg instead of butter, vegetable oil instead of lard and whatever).
The study that this new WHO advice is based on starts by introducing the flawed idea that red meat with it's saturated fat and cholesterol is bad for you, so I've no reason to believe the rest of it is any more accurate.

Still, when deforestation is complete and the greenery is no more we can survive by eating the vegetarians!

 

[graham bowers]

Bacon butty for lunch and now I'm cooking a vegetarian lasagne whilst imbibing "chef's perks". I'm not spending too much time worrying about the latest scare stories.

 

[Drago]

Chefs Perks? You mean Bovril?

I'm a good boy, I'm having fish for tea.

Well fish fingers, pink mash and beans, yum.

I'm a meatatarian. (...) die by the steak.

Is this what you have in mind?

Did you cut yourself peeling the spuds?
