You were part of the problem, Cat!

as much as I disagree with GM on most things, I reckon there is something to today's over=produced foods and especially vegetables that are helped along with synthetic processes.
There's just too may of us on this crowded rock and catering to us all means science is heavily involved in food processing. In the US for example most foods are shockingly poor (unless you can boutique shop) while in Oz food stuffs are generally excellent but still helped along by science.
Does all this lead to Colon Cancer? Could well be something in it.
I have chemo twice a month (so bored with it) and they send me a bill even though I don't pay it..the drugs are incredibly expensive).
Hopefully medical costs will stay down but that depends on whether Trump honours Australia's bulk bill buying (in the $Billions) agreements of US drugs so Green Man even has a solid point there about artificially priced medical care.

There is probably still a lot of good protein in the gunge, but it's the chemicals and salt in the hot dogs that are deadly.
