I like my processed meats, and while the headline scared me, the article makes me feel a little better. While I like bacon, the bacon I eat is part of a sandwich with eggs, cheese and spinach; I'm not just eating piles of bacon. While I may make an effort to cut down on processed meat, having my intake somewhat balanced with non-meat (and especially plant) food makes me a little less worried. Long gone are the days of bratwurst being a meal.
