bacon causes cancer! WHO!

[ignoramus]

The WHO said today that eating all meats, but in particular processed meats will increase your chances of getting cancer x2 (smoking = x50).

I would like to know if we started off as meat eaters in the jungle or as herbivores?
Most primates don't eat meat naturally (as a staple diet), do they?

Also, if we evolved without intelligence and didn't learn to make fire, would we still be meat eaters today?

Have we cheated evolution (so to speak) through the gift of intelligence and morphed into the homo sapiens so we can now cook and eat meat, or because of it?



Then we hear stories that contradict the above

Fans of the streaky pork delight will feel vindicated, others will probably be horrified, but it's true: 116-year-old Susannah Mushatt Jones would "eat bacon all day long" if she had her say, the New York Post reported her niece Lois Judge saying.
