bacon causes cancer! WHO!

DGAF.

Ain't gonna stop me eating bacon.

Everything causes cancer anyway.

You could live your whole life actively avoiding "cancer causing" foods and drink, even avoiding smoking and taking drugs etc. You could aim to live the healthiest lifestyle imaginable. Yet even if you did so, by the age of 30 you could still randomly develop cancer anyway. And the guy who's been smoking 50 cigs a day for 40 years is still alive and kicking.

Or better yet, you could get ran over by a bus or have a heart attack or be chopped up by a machete wielding nutjob.

Is anyone actually going to look at a bacon sandwich and go "oh shit, better not eat that, might get cancer".

Fucking no.

So I say: YOLO.

You are right, of course. We are mortal despite what we eat. Our lives will very likely be longer on a vegetable diet than a meaty one but one has an individual choice. One will have an a smaller environmental footprint on a vegetarian diet vs. a meaty one too but again, this is a personal choice.
