The Fast Food Thread

rip me

Same risk category meaning "they can cause cancer" though not even close to the same danger levels. Eating cured meats can increase chance to get things like colon cancer by 18% but the odds are relatively small to begin with.

Processed meat causes cancer, says WHO - Oct. 26, 2015

I don't trust the WHO ever since they were in that shitty world war z movie, fuck em

Fried salmon? I dunno about that.

A deep fried salmon sandwich from anywhere wouldn't turn me on, but from KFC's here, it would be an invitation for misery.

I'd definitely try that beef/pork burger though.

When I want a burger, I don't want pig adulterating my moo cow meat. Seems to me the pork would just diminish the beef flavor without bringing enough of it's own. The sort of pork that would be ground up for patties anyway.

Nonsense. Every single edible part of a pig is delicious!

My experiences with souse meat, liver pudding, pigs feet, and fried pork skins says otherwise. I would probably say the same of chitlins but I'll be damned if I'm eating any of those.

But that's beside the point. Uncured pork just doesn't have the same robust flavor as almost any cut of beef imo.

WHO announced today that processed meat like ham and hotdogs and red meat in general goes in the same risk category for cancer as smoking.

Living causes cancer. I sure get a grant to study that dead people don't get it.

Joke is on them. I'll die of a heart attack long before the cancer gets me.

Same category, in that they know it increases cancer risk reasonably confidently. However the increase in risk for red and processed meat is a couple of orders of magnitude less than for smoking. It's not in the same city, let alone ball park.

And miss out on those quality calories from red meat that is part of his balanced diet? Psh.

I want to dig in on that report when I have some time. I saw a guy on twitter break it down as basically saying that eating processed meats daily will increase your risk of cancer by 1%, compared to smoking daily will increase your risk of cancer by 2400%, both over the course of several years. I'm pretty skeptical of anything that questions smoked meats.

Anyone heard/had Habit Burger?

Was reading a local magazine and apparently one location just came to town and they are supposed to be a very good burger joint.

Earlier this month, Ontario burger chain The Works unveiled a product they're calling the Reese PBC-a burger both topped and stuffed with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
