The Bad Boys of the Meat Counter
Posted On May 18, 2010
It’s not meat, per se, that makes meat bad for you … it’s the crap they put in them to extend the shelf life.
Beef … fine. Pork … fine. Lamb … fine. But you might want to think about cutting down on your Slim Jim fetish.
“Processed meats such as bacon, salami, sausages, hot dogs and processed deli meats may be the most important to avoid,” said the lead author of a new study. They found that, on average, one to two slices of deli meats or one hot dog per day was associated with a 42 percent higher risk of heart disease and a 19 percent higher risk of developing diabetes.
The meat industry said … I’ll let you guess what they said … something on the order of
“oh, this isn’t really true; and oh you shouldn’t stop buying and eating our crap just because it is associated with heart attacks; and in the mean-time, why don’t you just relax with one of our new bacon wrapped salami dog pressed wonder meat stick food products!!”
Or something similar.
