There have been numerous studies that showed the correlation between meat, dairy and cancer, so this is not news to any vegan or vegetarian and researches this subject, what is interesting about this report is the possible knock on effects the world health organisation findings. How long will it be before our doctors ask us “Do you eat meat?”, before “Do you smoke?”, does it mean that any product that contains processed or red meat will have health warning, like cigarettes, if not why not, most fast food restaurants use processed meat, will they need to warn anyone purchasing their products, also will there be an age limit on the sale of meat.
Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Kerry McCarthy, said “Meat eaters should be treated like smokers.”,she seems to have hit the nail on the head (unknowingly).
