Bacon Worshippers read this at your peril.

According to Auntie this morning, some researchers in Sweden have suggested that eating two rashers of bacon a day can increase your risk of pancreatic cancer by 20%. Really? Are these researchers prepared to go to a UK building site and tell the construction workers that they are going to die? The british building industry is not based on the solidity of the foundations or the quality of the rebar or the sweat carrying bricks and cement - though those are important. It's greatest triumph is that all of those and more are based on the solid foundations of a good, honest bacon sandwich. Bacon will always triumph. That's the problem with Sweden. They don't eat bacon sandwiches. If they did, they'd be a greater nation than they are now.
It wasn't me! :~ But seriously, according to Swedish scientists you can't eat or drink ANYTHING. And take it easy on the breathing as well... X|

Just because a thing is new don’t mean that it’s better - Will Rogers, September 4, 1932 -
The vegetarian bacon slices, you can get from Tescos, are actually pretty good and do taste of bacon.

Extensive research concluded. *burp* Both types of BACON are indeed excellent. Smoked and unsmoked. There is then, no need for mock-bacon in any form.

Yes, but the "T" word tastes of nothing, whereas BACON tastes *wonderfull*

I wouldn't use a duck for cover. 1) They aren't generally considered bullet proof. 2) If you ignore (1), they aren't really big enough to hide behind, either. Unless you are abnormally small, or have a good supply of obscenely large mallards to hand.

Assuming I have to seek cover for bullets. I was thinking more about old bread and vegetable soup.
Giraffes are not real.
The duck would be good with the old bread, yes. The vegetable soup? More of a problem - have you not heard the expression "like water off a ducks' back"?

Not the old "it doesn't taste of anything" ploy.
Google "What does tofu taste of" - even the hardened vegetablists say it has no (or nearly no) flavour of it's own.

I don't actually eat bacon but these stats annoy me ... What they are saying is, if your chance of getting pancreatic cancer was say 0.1%, then if you eat bacon it will be 0.12% (not 20.1%). They quote it in the way that will be most scary. *Rant Over* Anyway, I bet Tofu doesn't increase your risk of getting pancreatic cancer so I'm alright! :-D

I don't have a peril. Is it OK if I read it at my desk?

When I heard that, it really depressed me so I cheered myself up by having a bacon sarnie :-D

If I have to go, pancreatic cancer after lifetime eating bacon sounds like a pretty good deal. :-D

Yeah, sure, fine for you. A little extra estrogen won't do much damage. Tofu-eating guys, on the other hand, could start to look like Marilyn Manson.

When I received an email this morning saying that eating processed meat led to an increased risk of cancer I thought to myself; That sounds like spam.
