Run for your lives, the UN is out to take your sweet meats! The WHO published a study that is great tabloid news that says that processed meats are linked to colon cancer, which, if you think about it makes perfect sense. I find it ridiculous that people are freaking out that meat causes cancer when we have known for like forever that it is linked to a plethora of other horrible horrible diseases and Heath issues.
2.
The beef industry is probably in damage control right now because of all of the hypothetical colon cancer lawsuits being lobbied against them; environmental groups are lobbying for warning labels, and some guy who just watched Food, Inc. is outraged.
3.
Meats being placed in Group 1 means that scientists are as sure of the link between meat and cancer as they are of the link between asbestos and cancer, not that asbestos and meat are as likely to cause cancer, but maybe a lie can really travel half way around the world before the truth can get it's pants on, then again, what was the truth doing with its pants off?
4.
The cartoon is illustrating the anger of meat eaters at the crumbling façade of willful ignorance toward the negative effects of meat, and who can blame them? I doubt people will stop eating eat, and now all this study means for most people is that their moms or wives or health conscious family members are going to buy tofurkey or some such crap for a week or so.
5.
Bish's contention is probably that people don't want to know what is in their food, and while this report may have a small impact on the choices people make when buying meat, it probably won't make a significant dent in meat eating.
6.
I eat all the meat, yesterday I ate a whole steak and I will continue to do so until I drop dead from whatever ailment plagues me. I don't care. I want to eat meat for as long as it is feasibly possible.
