HEALTH - There Goes My Spam Diet!!

Salty, Processed Meats Found NOT Good For You In Recent Study
http://health.yahoo.com/news/reuters/us_heart_meat.html

Just read this article on yahoo.com. MINDBLOWING!! I mean, this study is a major game changer in the health world. This nation will definitely be leaving the 1960's MUCH healthier than the 1950's! Wait, what? Hold on a sec, Marty McFly... You're telling me it's 2010!?!?...

I make no secret of my love for processed meats, but I've always known how bad they were for me. So, am I an ass for assuming that we all already knew this? I had no idea there was still a debate going on that my beloved Spam and hot dogs probably aren't going to be adding years onto my life no matter how many birthday wishes I use to try to make it true... I know we still need to be putting the information out there for people to use... That's one thing... but I'm kinda, really surprised researchers still have to blow money on studies like this because health officials have to do battle with the ever-present, extremely well known American Meat Institute. Yeah, that's right. The American Meat Institute exists. Who knew? I'm assuming it's kind of like the NRA. I guess it makes sense that there's an institution out there protecting all of us carnivores' right to eat and carry meat, and to also do battle with these ludicrous health researchers who come out redundantly deprecating the value of processed, cured, and smoked meats.
