Now that processed meats have been deemed carcinogenic by the World Health Agency...

Can I ask if you will be allowing your kids to eat sausages, ham, burgers etc? They are also warming about red meat in general so I can no longer feel virtuous when I cook homemade lasagne or shepherds pie.

My son loves sausages, I tend to buy the 98% pork ones but again, now thinking that I'm hurting him by letting him have sausages at all.

What are other people giving their children for dinner? I feel like I'm royally fucking up nowadays although I did make fresh cod goujons in a tempura batter two nights ago and he thought they were great. I must get at least one brownie point for the fish!

Interesting.
In the West we do seem to make a big thing medically about menopause don't we and yet it is a totally natural state that we all go through. Maybe attitude does have a lot to do with it then.

I don't get that panic all of a sudden. It has been known for years that vegetarians have less colon cancer.

It's also known that bullying at school causes cancer in the victims. Wish me luck in suing those bullies for attempted murder ...

No, really, just don't eat so much meat and your risk should be balanced. Almost every foodstuff is bad for you according to some study.

School bullying causes cancer?

Depression, anxiety, other mental health issues, yes. But cancer?

Bullied adults report high blood pressure, heart palpitations, heart attack, fibromyalgia, overwhelming anxiety and/or panic attacks, sleep disruption, loss of concentration/memory, migraine and tension headaches, uncontrollable mood swings, posttraumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, irritable bowel syndrome (Crohn's disease)

Kids with cancer get bullied...

Okay, not "cause" as in "you automatically get it", but the risk is increased. Psychological wellbeing is important for the immune system, and the immune system protects you against cancer, so ...

The world is really unfair. I hope all those guys who bullied me eat really, really many sausages.
