Ham and Bacon Sandwiches Give You Cancer

daily-wail162MEDIA Scare Stories – Ham and Bacon Sandwiches Give You Cancer.

The Mail seizes on the research, and readers get to hear from Marni Craze – nominative determinism at work again, folks – “children’s education manager” for the charity. Craze has the science:

“If children have processed meat in their lunch every day then over the course of a school year they will be eating quite a lot of it.”

Quite a lot. Fact.

“It is better if children learn to view processed meat as an occasional treat if it is eaten at all. We also need to do more to raise awareness of the issue, as a recent survey has shown that two thirds of people in Britain do not know that eating processed meat increases the risk of cancer.”

The idiots.

“This is despite the scientific evidence about a link being convincing.”

Convincing? And more or less convincing to those with a vested interest?

Leave the swine flu pigs alone. They have more way to kill us that you can dream up.

Such are the facts.
