Oh, for Heaven's sake. What twaddle. What sort of meat was available except at butchering time before cold storage and deep freezers were invented? Processed, salted, smoked, nitrite-loaded hams and bacon for the rich and ditto sausages (scraps bulked out with rusk) for you and me. For hundreds of years. Foxy, you often are entertainingly misinformed, but really! This one takes the (sausage and) biscuit.

Well hundreds of years ago most people did not live long enough to die of Bowel Cancer and anyone who might of done

would not of been diagnosed as such.

Look, sorry, and I hate to back up the local curmudgeon, but Foxy is right on this one. There is a pretty damning link between processed meats and cancer risk.


What your position fails to account for is that A) for most of those hundreds of years people ate much, much less meat, and B) what processed meat they did eat was natural - natural flavourings, natural, spices and seasonings, natural cases etc.


Now people eat a lot more meat - far too much in the western world, frankly - and a lot of what they do eat is often too cheap to be as good as it should be. This is very true of the processed stuff; all that salami, cured ham, reformed chicken and so on? Packed with nasty stuff. And over time that does us no good at all.


Like most other stuff, moderation is your friend, and when you do eat it, pay more and get the better stuff; chances are it's less dangerous.

No.. It was about A fish restaurant that has closed down and is being taken over by one selling primarily selling meat.


There was a diversion about meat consumption..


DulwichFox.

natural manoeuvre into the impact of eating meat on your health based on how it is produced, impact on the environment and largely hidden horrors of factory farming, as well as the Ethical stance is the new restaurant adheres to in terms of supply.

Sensible organic alternatives reduce antibiotics, fat-inducing and other drugs that are commonplace in mass produced factory animals - and the circle that comes back to supply/ choices/ health/ ethics....

ALL Red Meat is now concidered carcinogenic what ever the quality..


Don't get me wrong.. I do still eat it myself..

Even as I write I am waiting the results of tests for the very subject we have discussed here..

Hence my concern..

Fingers crossed your results are OK, Foxy.

Good news for Meat Liquor - a cooked quarter pounder beefburger contains 78g of red meat according to the NHS- only 8g more than their recommended daily allowance of red and processed meat... And they also say "If you eat more than 90g of red and processed meat on a certain day, you can eat less on the following days or have meat-free days, so that over time your consumption is not more than 70g per day on average."

Everyone over 60 should get tested every 2 years automatically.. Done by post..


This was an extra test because I lost 5 lb during dry Jan. and my doctor did not agree it was due to not drinking

for a month..


Seems a bit extreem caution..

Not really. They started as a pop up in Peckham a few years ago and while they have a few branches now, they are a small business. Most of the long-time businesses in the area have more than one branch including Blue Mountain, Blackbird Bakery, Lordship Lane Carpets, Just Williams and countless others.
