CEOs hate this one weird trick that speeds up priority in gov… go in and defame the product with non-permanent messages right in the storeshell

This was Taliban 1.0 drugs policy. “Drugs are forbidden, unless they are being sold to the infidel.”
Why not?
nah, make a public announcement and let people choose if they want to live long or die happy
let people choose if they want to live long or die happy
Here’s your daily dose of fallacies: this is a false dichotomy.
The problem is that they get cancer and then run to the government for help.
100%. Big reason why cigarettes should be banned as well. You can say people are allowed to make their own choices, but it’s the healthcare system that ends up overloaded. Other people are dying for their choices because they take up a bed in the cancer ward 20 years earlier then they should.
Can’t imagine them banning bacon though.
So the funny thing is that smokers are typically less strain on the healthcare system because they tend to die young.
This goes against everything I’ve been told tbh. I can kind of see it, because of how pensions work, but idk.
They’re certainly not dying ‘happy’.
In a letter to Health Secretary Wes Streeting, the experts called for clear front-of-pack warnings on nitrite-cured products, making the cancer risk aware to consumers.
Additionally, they urge a long-term plan to be put in place in order to phase out nitrite from all processed meats sold in the UK, as well as additional funding to help local producers switch to healthier alternatives.
Doesn’t sound like you’re really disagreeing with them. It’s good value for the country to prevent people doing entirely optional things that will cost the health service in the long run.
You can absolutely make things that both taste good and also don’t cause cancer. This isn’t like “being vegan will extend your lifespan so everyone has to be vegan” type of thing, it is very directly a specific preservative they chose to put in that is straight-up killing people.
So is bacon even the problem, or just an ingredient they are often using in processing it?
I think it is nitrates. I mean, I am sure there are other preservatives that are harmful but nitrates is the class of chemical that usually is what is killing people in this context. Almost any type of “processed” meat is going to give you significantly elevated risk of cancer if you eat it regularly.
From a quick search bacon contains 5.5mg of nitrate per 100g. My tap water contains about 20mg per pint. If this is such a problem then shouldn’t we be looking at the water companies first?
It might not be so simple, it may depend on more detailed aspects of how it affects your system. Sort of like how different forms of protein have different actual effects on your macros based on bioavailability. It’s bio-sciences, so the answers can’t be depended on for simplicity.
Choice is an illusion.
