Fat & Process Animal Parts are Apparently Bad for You
Who knew? Right?
Eating bacon, sausage, hot dogs and other processed meats can raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes, U.S. researchers said on Monday in a study that identifies the real bad boys of the meat counter. (Reuters)
Finally someone took the time to research the negative effects of stuffing one’s face with fat and sausages with bits of pork ass.
Eating unprocessed beef, pork or lamb appeared not to raise risks of heart attacks and diabetes, they said, suggesting that salt and chemical preservatives may be the real cause of these two health problems associated with eating meat. (Reuters)
Oh I see, so it’s not just the excessive fat intake that’s killing us, it’s also the artificial chemicals. These types of studies are truly what makes food science a truly noble pursuit.

Does this mean I can’t eat bacon anymore? Screw it, bacon is my one true love! I’ll never give you up bacon!!
Marry me. You too, John. Let’s get some menage e bacon going on.
Right! What’s next? Smoking is bad?
There’s only one thing I’ve learned from this, and that’s the fact that it’s time to make bacon.
I’m unprocessed meat. Does this mean I need to worry about frenzied consumers who suddenly realise one of many horrible truths? Can I still frolic freely, or shall I be torn apart in a sheephunt by a mob of bloodthirsty blobs? Will my wool nevermore be able to serve the community with warm clothing and other textiles? Will my offspring never get the chance to out-cute the cats on Youtube? Yeah, maybe processed meat isn’t so bad after all.
Actually, pork butt isn’t from the actual ass of the pig, it’s from the shoulder area, which is why it can also be mistaken for pork shoulder, although the pork butt is the top round of the same piece of meat. Ham, on the other end (excuse the pun), is from the hind legs and part of the ass of the pig.
People get paid to do this? I think I’ve found a new area of interest.
This research just changed my life! Now where’s my bacon.
It just struck me now, imagine the amount of lives saved due to these findings, mind blowing!
This just in!
It turns out that getting run over by a car is also detrimental to your health!
and blah… Bacon and sausages are my lifeline
How the hell is bacon processed meat? It’s no more processed than beef…
Ok so it’s soaked in salt so it is more processed than beef. But hardly to the same degree as sausages or salami.
