cancer risk
I was just wondering how many of you have heeded the warnings and cut down your consumption. I eat quite a bit of poultry and fish, but have always enjoyed beef dishes, sausages, bacon and ham. From this week I have replaced the ham with sliced chicken, beef mince with turkey and cut out most other processed meats. I shall still buy the occasional steak or bacon for a treat rather than weekly. It is really no hardship, but I hate all the recent scares which sometimes get contradicted as more research is carried out.

Veggie one day, fish the next and meat (mostly chicken, but all meat on the third. Our meat is grass fed entirely organic.

We don’t avoid anything but have as much variety as possible. Life’s for living however much you have of it?
