Bacon and ham sold in the UK should carry cigarette-style labels warning that chemicals in them cause bowel cancer, scientists say.

Their demand comes as they criticise successive British governments for doing “virtually nothing” to reduce the risk from nitrites in the decade since they were found to definitely cause cancer.

Saturday marks a decade since the World Health Organization in October 2015 declared processed meat declared processed meat to be carcinogenic to humans, putting it in the same category as tobacco and asbestos.

            Oh god you have somehow made yourself look even dumber, shut the hell up. You having a child with Autism does not mean you can be offended on behalf of people with Autism and as someone who acturally has autism I dont care. Also “severe autism” is a made up term you just made up on the spot, I know a lot of people who are low functioning and I wouldn’t say they experience autism any more or less than I do.

                How about you stop talking down to people with Autism and acting like you understand the experience of people with Autism better than they do

                    My problem was because you in your white savior complex decided to get offended on behalf of autistic people because someone said retard online. Did you just join the internet yesterday? Boo fucking hoo someone just said a mean word. Get over yourself, also I find it disgusting that you said “ok buddy” like im some sort of child.

                    This is not surprising since this entire conversation literally started with you dismissing the concerns of someone with autism over rising fascism. You claim to be the parent of someone with Autism yet somehow you are clearly not scared about the fascistic remarks regarding people with autism from the likes of RFK JR. Clearly you are more concerned with policing speech than real world issues. Because as a simple fact people with autism are under threat and if you do acturally have a child with autism then it would do them no good to pretend that threat doesn’t exist.
