I might give that a listen. I've a bit of a habit of putting a documentary on the 'radio' while I drift off. On a similar subject area 'Thank you for smoking' is a film I'd recommend. Or even 'Cowspiracy'.

Oh, I like rhubarb. Hmm, first acquire a garden.Bollocks to this - I saw a story on the front page of the Express the other day that rhubarb cures cancer

I think it was - Didn't we do this or something very close to it back in 2011/12?

back on the other side
The number of people I know who either have cancer or have died of it , in the last 3 years, is really upsetting... Its rampant.....I've taken steps to avoid it, but it's a hard one to swerve....

c'mon, little life giver
I can heartily recommend This American Life, both for the journalism and as a sleeping tablet. I've listened to the first 5 minutes of that episode twice already

Yes, I started with what he taught me and took it to the limit
Who would choose bacon when they can have sprouts ?
Bacon and sprouts is fucking amazing.

While obv one doesn't *court* cancer, equally, one has to die of *something*.
Pretty sure a couple of years back q study linked meat eating to heart disease too.
Otoh you could end up with dementia and spend decades not dying of that.
To me, that seems worse... If I had my way I'd go from a massive heart attack before I lose my marbles, or my independence, or my dignity. But the fact is, you don't get to pick.
You will die. You can't really control how... But you can control a big chunk of how happy you are before that. My dad used to say "there were people on the Titanic that waved away the dessert trolly" - I'm not a veggie and bacon tastes lovely. I could get squished by a bus tomorrow. I'll eat the bacon and take my chances with the manner of my going.

I like your Dad's thinking spanglechick
My own Dad used to say we all have to die of something and ask, how many headstones have you seen in the graveyard that read "Here Lies The Body of X X who died of, Nothing" ??

Ah, but those who scoff at the processed meats also die.
Then expire.
(This is no good - I look at internet funz to cheer me up and now we are all death and woe)
To be fair, headstones don't really tend to go in for the grim details, do they? They tend either to be simple and to the point or to blitter on about "x, beloved wife/husband/parent, much loved by all, went to meet her/his maker blah blah, rests in arms of Jesus blah blah."

Isn't that what people used to say about living next to asbestos mines? Maybe they still do in some parts of the world.
they will be saying a slice or two of fried bread is bad for you next
Ooh! Wait a minute - there's an idea there! Has fried bread yet become trendy? Is there a chance of getting rich by opening a cafe *only* doing fried bread? Wholemeal, artisanal, made by Peruvian peasants bread, obviously? Fried only in oil certified more virginal than Mary.

One of my mothers most often used saying is 'well she is no stranger to the desert trolley'. Bacon here is around 8 quid for a small packet of streaky so its pretty much off my menu anyway these days - and on the plus side rhubarb is about the only thing that grows outside. Also I have had cancer twice so a third time might be unlucky.

I wonder what the prognosis is for old pigfucker then.

Hardly getting over it.
Not really new news, to be fair. "Smoked" meats, especially those cured through industrial chemical processes rather than traditional ones, have been known to be more of a risk re: carginogens for decades. Same with industrially-processed cheeses, pulses,grains and vegetables too.

I don't eat meat for nutrition. I eat it for fun
Like I drink loads of rum and fizzy wine and pints of strong drink.
Like I scoff the odd half gram of mdma, or snaffle the occasional gram of shit coke.
I'm pretty sure all the things I consume for fun give a chance of making me ill. It's well worth it, though.
