fuck off and let me enjoy my cancer

Everything's killing us. Enjoy the pleasures of life in moderation and you'll be good.

I've always known that, morally, I was better than the average barbarian due to my vegan dietary choices, it feels good to be 100% indisputably validated, by not only news media but credible public health organizations, for not being a meat eating barbarian

i love those summer sausages you see in christmas gift packs.

they're probably the most carcinogenic of all from all the preservatives. but they're so incredibly tasty!

>>7013733
This.
Just don't eat only red meat and you'll be fine.
I don't smoke, but for most people, eating red meat isn't the only thing they do to have cancer.

>>7013737
I look forward to my snack box every Christmas. It's the only time of year I eat it so I'm not worried.

What if we've eaten red meat already? Are we going to get cancer?

>>7013757
No, only if you've eaten it after this report.

>>7013771

Ok, good.

>18% increase

That might sound like a lot, but it's really not. Say the general population has a 1% chance to get cancer, an 18% increase just gives you a 1.18% chance to get cancer.

If you like cheese and sausage, why not buy high-quality stuff from a city market or something like 2-4 times a year instead of this stuff made to have a room temperature shelf life for months?

Who knew the World Health Organization participated in clickbait

>>7013777
But cancer is a pretty bad one to get anon

>>7013736

I'm starting to feel the cancer, bros.

>>7013777
1 in 3 people get cancer in their life iirc

>>7013815
That's accounting for all kinds of cancer. Bacon just causes butt cancer, it's not going to have any effect on other kinds of cancer like lung or pancreatic.

>>7013815

So that's an extra 60 people per thousand

>>7013815
i looked it up, its even worse: 1 in 2 for men and 1 in 3 for women

>>7013844
So what's the big fucking deal bitch? Even if you don't smoke or eat bacon you still have a 50 percent change to contract cancer

>>7013737
>mfw I went vegetarian 3 months ago and just realized I can't eat this this Christmas

>Like your daily hot dog or bacon sandwich? You may want to think again.

who eats a bacon or hot dog sandwich every day? that shit would be bad for you even if it wasn't cancerous. christ, if you're shoveling that much processed meat into your mouth, you deserve cancer

>>7013875
Fuck off cyrus

>>7013844
>tfw almost everyone gets cancer at an old age.
They used to call those "natural deaths". Now people are like: "OH MY GOD I'M 75 AND I HAVE CANCER".

People can't accept shit anymore.

>>7013875
Just be un-vegetarian

muh gabagool!

>>7013777
>Say the general population has a 1% chance to get cancer, an 18% increase just gives you a 1.18% chance to get cancer.
The maths are not you strong suit anon

>According to estimates cited by the WHO, about 34,000 cancer deaths per year worldwide can be attributed to diets that are high in processed meat. That's a small fraction of the 8.2 million deaths caused by cancer in 2012, according to the latest WHO data.

So processed meats can be attributed to a whopping total of 0.4% of cancer deaths.

That doesn't concern me at all. I'll continue to enjoy my bacon and sausages.

I'm glad to see you made the conscious choice to be a fuckhead.

>>7014992
Amazon parrots are the biggest assholes of all parrots.

>>7014992
Do you know how percentages work?

>>7014992

i didn't even graduate highschool and i know that 18% of 1% is .18.

>>7013722
Water is cancerous for us too based in studies so what?

>>7013794
Is WHO making memes now?

apparently everything causes cancer since nano particles seem to cause it as well but the research is still lacking
and let's not forget that true causes of most cancers are still unknown

nobody survives life
might as well enjoy it because you are going to die either way, you silly fuck

>>7013722
Alright vegans/vegetarians I hope you're happy. Us meat eaters have had this a long time coming, so go ahead, really rip into us, no wrong answers.

Oh no, 3 more people out of 10,000 people who eat a large amount of processed meat will develop bowel cancer.

The media has been really fucking misleading with this shit comparing ti to cigarettes

This generation isn't going to reduce its meat consumption. Too set in its ways and would consider it a personal defeat to do so. Just like with smokers it'll take a few generations. >>7015202
Take this guy for example. Trying to make out like the number of ass cancer deaths in high meat eating countries are small. Like the meat industry you're pretending that in first world countries where carcinogens are strictly regulated and smoking rates are lower the high prevelance of cancer is a statistical oddity. Nothing to do with diet.

Eat bacon if you want. Just like people smoke despite knowing the risks. But don't pretend that you're not taking a risk or that everything causes cancer xD

>>7015240
The numbers are incredibly small, and the risk of processed meat only increases your likelihood of rectal cancer by 18% when consuming a typical amount (and there is no evidence of it causing other cancers)

These are tiny numbers we are dealing with, you really should stop overreacting

>>7015240
>or that everything causes cancer xD
Pretty much everything causes cancer. Cancer is the inevitable state of human life so long as something else does not kill you first. Its so much more common in the first world because we have become quite adept at preventing most other forms of death that tend to kill people before cancer comes around in poorer areas

The increase in cancer risk from processed meats is so minimal that is hardly worth changing your lifestyle over unless you eat a ridiculous amount of it. It is more like refusing to fly to avoid the risk of a plane crash than it is like smoking or sun tanning which actually increase your cancer hazard by an appreciable rate

>>7013722
meat cancer...

the next topic gave me sides a kek-ing

>>7013722
>>CNN
a reputable scientific source for sure.

>>7014992
>The maths are not you strong suit anon
Grammar's not yours either tbh

>>7013875

Get creative. I make winter-themed meals. Google recipes or something. I always involve pumpkins, squash, parsnips, yams, chard etc. I always make pies too. Don't limit yourself too much.

I'm fairly certain autism isn't diagnosed enough
