Eating dead animals - the pros and cons

[AndyRM]

Probably for the sort of people who thought Squid Game was something new and original.

Forget the plot or the characters or anything like that, the original Oldboy is simply beautiful to look at. I wouldn't want to touch it.

You're not wrong. It's a thing of greatness. I find Spike Lee a bit hit and miss to be honest, but I've no idea what he was thinking remaking Oldboy.

I'm with @Adam4868 on Parasite, it's incredible, and just as visually stunning.

We've all watched Old Boy, right?

No.

Assuming the 'NO' is we should not give up eating meat, is that not covered under by 'bacon' which in my view is a great way of wrapping other meat before barbecuing?

Had scallops wrapped in bacon last weekend , was f…n lovely . It was a posh BBQ not my own

I'm pretty sure Giles Coren is an inspiration to most NACA readers, so I'll cite his view on this:
He's gone for "Vegan before 6pm". He reviews eateries for a living, so if he's eating meat after 6pm it will be in a posh eaterie, and he reviews their sourcing etc . And some of his trips are veggie/vegan anyway.
this also cuts out all the junk bacon sarnies at 11ses he was eating. Seems like a good compromise; if all carnivores did this it would make a sizable contribution.

Giles Coren is so awful that I've felt obliged to like one of Jowwy's posts.

Why would anyone want to cut out the bacon sandwiches?, it is almost as crazy as going teetotal !

That's me!

No bacon, no alcohol, no football, very little TV and very few miles in the car.

It seems to suit me - I've never been happier!

Thats a sad existence in my eyes.......

Well.

I can't believe I've read the room so badly.

The problem with bacon, and all the other processed meats I like such as sausages, and the foreign meats I like such as prosciutto and chorizo, is the extra risks to health. (Processed meat is classed as a Group 1 carcinogen like tobacco).
This is not to say I will stop eating them, but I can't say I have not been told the risks.

Smoking causes cancer, bacon causes cancer, but smoking bacon cures it.


My wife reacts badly to bacon so we get the nitrite/sulphite free stuff which she can tolerate.

I don't smoke, so, I take my risks on the processed meats. Plus, on my visits to mainland Europe (home of processed meat), I note, it doesn't seem to do them any harm.
