Bring Home the Bacon (Or Not)

1) The World Health Organization reported that processed meats raises the risk of colon cancer. 

2) The meat industry reacted to this finding by saying that because the risk off getting cancer is pretty low that people shouldn't worry. The environmental groups respond by saying they want more warning labels on packaged meats. 

3) It was put into a group 1 category meaning that there is sufficient evidence that the processed meats will lead to cancer. The chairman of disease prevention says that the risk of cancer or other risks is lower than smoking and alcohol, so you can still have red meats in your diet but cutting down would probably be a good choice.

4) The cartoon shows that people are too ignorant and don't care enough to stop eating meat, even if they know it's bad for them.

5) I think the opinion Randy Bish has is that people should go vegetarian at least because they probably would't even care enough to make a comic of this topic without wanting people to stop and think about their decision to eat meat.

6) Yes, I do eat meat, and I would say kinda often, and nothing from the report is really news to me as I have read A TON of things relating to vegan/vegetarian life styles because I find them motivational as I have tried to go vegetarian before and want to in the future.
