Bad News Bacon

Jessica Dance [1]

The buzz kill of the day is a report [2] issued by the World Health Organization indicating that eating processed meats like hot dogs and bacon put you more at risk for cancer. The same could be true for red meat. Though my diet is awash with fruits and vegetables, just yesterday, I dined on a delicious beef stew (one of my go-to recipes from Marcella Hazan [3]) and the night before, I inhaled a carnitas burrito. After reading the WHO report, I opened my freezer door and for a brief moment, considered dumping the bacon I’d stowed there. Nay, I don’t think so.
