Fresh red meat is also due to join the ‘encyclopaedia of carcinogens’ and is likely to be ranked as only slightly less dangerous than the preserved products.

Typical anti meat propaganda, they use the truth about processed meats to turn public opinion so that they can later go on to restrict unprocessed red meat consumption. They also do not go into why our processed meats are so bad.

A couple hundred years ago naturally cured ham, sausage, pepperoni, salami, ect from naturally raised animals, although not optimal as raw, was not anywhere near as harmful and carcinogenic as the Oscar Mayer of today. Its all the chemical preservatives, and piss poor quality animals along with the way everything is flash processed and cooked at ultra high temeratures instead of slow cured as in days of old.

Yes, that is the one key problem, that they try to pretend that even raw meat is as dangerous.

I don't have anything to add to SaberTooth's comment.
