The latest cancer scare. Fortunately we're mostly old enough to present the middle finger!
The source of the story was an announcement from the World Health Organization that “processed meats” were now classified as a group 1 carcinogen, meaning scientists were certain that there was “sufficient” evidence that they caused cancer, particularly colon cancer. The warning applied not just to British bacon but to Italian salami, Spanish chorizo, German bratwurst and myriad other foods.

They are always coming up with something that is not good for us. There was an article in a paper yesterday saying that if a person lived on only potatoes all their life whether mashed or whatever, they would be still very healthy.

Potatoes are the best argument in favour of God I have come across. Oh, and JS Bach - Potatoes and JS Bach. |
