Bring Home the Bacon (Or Not)

1. Eating processed red meat raises the risk of colon cancer.
2. The meat industry resisted the findings of the report while some environmental groups called for warning labels to be put on meat.
3. Processed meats being placed in Group 1 means that their is sufficient evidence that it can cause cancer. The chairmen of disease prevention at Stanford, Dr. John Ioannidis,  clarifies that being placed in Group 1 does not mean it has the same hazards as cigarettes or alcohol.
4. Randy Bish explains that most people don't really care and will continue to eat processed meats.
5. I think the opinion of the cartoon is sort of like "so what? who cares? people are still going to eat meat."
6. I probably eat meat about one a week at most and I will continue to eat processed meats when I do. I eat meat rarely enough that I'm not worried about cancer.
