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.

      Wow eveyone look, its a smug centrist who cant even bother to do the absolute bear minimum yet still thinks they can look down on others for saying naughty words. Yes I aknowlage that the system is fundamentally corrupt yet still I went out today and voted for Mamdani. From my point of view my political participation doesn’t start or end with voting.
