I thought they said some red meat was good for you? I think it was poor quality meat that was the problem though they weren't sure why. We buy prize-winning sausages from our butcher that are just meat and pretty much fat free. Mind you every butcher in France seems to have prize-winning sausages. There seem to be lots of competitions. 
People clearly aren't convinced cos they keep eating the stuff 
. Not surprising when you think that sausages and bacon in various forms are what northern Europeans have survived winters on for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
if people take much notice of all these different reports that keep cropping up.
Now we are supposed to limit our daily intake of ham/bacon to 20 grams a day! Less than an ounce! And apparently sausages, pies, and suchlike are a big no-no.
And, of course, if we eat red meat we will die.
And watch your fats!
