We can't eat sheep now. Or bacon. Gives you cancer.
Discussion over.

A report released today recommends that people eat less red and processed meat to reduce the risk of certain cancers.

The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) has spend the last five years collating information on the link between lifestyle and cancer. Its report is the most comprehensive ever published on the link between cancer and diet, physical activity and weight and includes 10 recommendations from a panel of 21 international scientists.

The report concludes that there is “convincing” evidence that red meat and processed meats such as ham, bacon, salami and sausages increase the risk of colorectal cancer. It recommends that people should limit intake of red meat and avoid processed meat altogether.

“The evidence that red meat, and particularly processed meat, is a cause of colorectal cancer is stronger now than it was in the mid-1990s,” states the report.
