Go smoke a sausage

The World Health Organisation is planning to declare that bacon, sausages and other processed meats cause cancer.

The announcement is expected to list the fry-up favourites in the same category as arsenic, asbestos and cigarettes.
Red meat will also be declared “probably carcinogenic to humans”, and will be ranked as only slightly less dangerous than preserved products, according to a Daily Mail source.
Processed meat, which include pastrami, salami, hot dogs and some types of sausages is made by smoking, curing, salting or adding preservatives.

The World Cancer Research Fund said: “There is strong evidence that eating a lot of these foods increases your risk of bowel cancer.”
Bowel cancer is the second most common cancer in Europe and the third most common worldwide, according to Cancer Research UK.
It is also the second most common cause of cancer deaths in the UK, accounting for ten per cent of all deaths from cancer.

The NHS website says that evidence shows there is “probably a link between eating red and processed meat and the risk of bowel cancer”.
“People who eat a lot of these meats are at higher risk of bowel cancer than those who eat small amounts,” it adds.
According to the Mail, the decision by the WHO was made following a meeting and review of available evidence by scientists from ten nations including the UK.

But the decision, expected to be announced on Monday, could have a serious financial impact on farmers and the food industry.
Betsy Booren, of the North American Meat Institute, said recently: “If they determine that red and processed meat causes cancer – and I think they will – that moniker will stick. It could take decades and billions of dollars to change that.”

Seventh-Day-Adventists have historically low rates of cancer and high rates of vegetarianism*.

They are often identified as one of the two longest lived populations, along with Okinawans.

I believe the data.

* As a group they also do not smoke nor drink alcohol.

There was good data on this 40 years ago. The WHO is a little behind the curve.

Have you ever been to Lovely Dodger Stadium? (owned by the club and not the city so there is no extortion from taxpayers to pay for upgrades)

Have you ever eaten a Dodger dog?

Have you ever hard Vin Scully call a baseball game?

Then you are a poorer person for it.

And I pity you.


You are a joyless little fuck.

Quite the contrary, I receive great joy every time I come across one of your posts.

You resort to name-calling and foul language, and I realize how joyful it is not to be you.
