Killer Bacon!

[rabet]

Did any of you watch "The Food Inspectors" last night (BBC 1)? I didn't see it but Mrs R did and it scared her stiff! I am now forbidden to eat bacon and ham!

[mccfluff]

why? im still eating bacon and ham.

[sandyRoe]

She's quite right. All the chemicals in bacon and ham are nearly guaranteed to poison you. You'd be digging your grave with your teeth.

I don't eat a lot of bacon..........or ham !!

[weecalf]

Has someone been telling porkies

[tonyav]

Why not, dunnitall ?.

[anneasquith]

tony, your body , your choice ,

[tonyav]

Ok anne, I'll think about it when I've finished.

[dunnitall]

Tony, cos you've got it and eaten it and I haven't ;-)

[rabet]

The programme (so I am told) claimed that the methods used to cure bacon and ham involve carcinogenic materials. If it's true then "cure" is rather an inappropriate word for the process.

[tonyav]

Lol, you should have said then dunnitall, I would have done another couple of slices.

[dunnitall]

Have heard this before rabet and it includes other food as well as far as I know.

[McMouse]

There are rasher things to eat than bacon.

[SlackAlice]

I have been eating bacon and ham for the 60yrs (not continuously, just in case you ask). So I should have been dead last week?

Better press Submit before I expire........................................

[rabet]

Is there any kind of standard of truthfulness that programmes like this have to comply with before being shown? If there isn't, it seems somewhat unfair to people whose livelihoods can be affected by scaremongering.

I saw it, mostly it was about the amount of Nitrate additives they add go it. They said in high amounts it can raise your getting colon cancer by about 20%.
