WAR! Industry rebels ahead of WHO report declaring red and processed meats ‘cause cancer’ – including sausages and bacon

WAR! Industry rebels ahead of WHO report declaring red and processed meats ‘cause cancer’ – including sausages and bacon:

The food war is about to get mean..

A WHO report is going to label certain processed meats to be as bad as smoking..

The food industry is fighting back early.

While industry groups are preparing for a damaging blow to consumer confidence as a result, The North American Meat Institute (Nami) has accused the IARC of “dramatic and alarmist over-reach,” CNBC reported.

Nami president Barry Carpenter said: “Red and processed meats are among 940 substances reviewed by IARC found to pose some level of theoretical ‘hazard’.

“Only one substance, a chemical in yoga pants, has been declared by IARC not to cause cancer,” he claimed.

Yoga pants.

Meat.

And the food industry:

It’s about to get mean.
