Ahaha jesus, from ABC News:

Researchers found that eating as little as 2 ounces of processed meat per day -- a few strips of bacon, a hot dog or smoked sausage -- increased the risk of heart disease by 42 percent and the risk of diabetes by 19 percent.

But they're oh so delicious

Peas

Raneados

the hotdogs I eat are 88 cents for a pack of 8

Man I am poor as hell too, and a pack of dogs with a loaf of bread (I'm not so fancy that I buy actual hot dog buns! Pfff you only get like six or so in a pack!) is often an appealing alternative to the loads of egg sandwiches and pasta I eat.

no stop being a pansy

jerkcity is awesome

Raneados

smbc has been dipping its toe into xkcd's deal lately

Drew-B

SMBC has some decent gags but something about the art style or the coloring always throws me off

Drew-B

No seriously somebody explain this goddamn jerk city to me.

Beasteh

jerkcity is fine art

ChicoBlue

It is what it appears to be.

Beasteh

alt answer: if you have to ask you'll never know

to find out more about t-rex's best night ever, you'll need a much more reliable narrator



not true, teen cosmo: cosmonaut teen is the most compelling character. she's SO AWESOME, you guys, and she's not teen astro's girlfriend just because their names match up. she's not teen astro's girlfriend for a ton of other reasons

i am - AT BEST - 43% teen these days

Raneados

jerk city is shitty and it is shitty on purpose

obviously it is clever as balls

Drew-B

No dude it's funny...remember the fat indian girl one? The one that always gets posted any time people ask what makes JC any good? There's that one.

Raneados

I don't buy it.

like at all

show me this research

Drew-B

You don't understand how eating, daily, meat that is literally ground up unwanted bits with high amounts of sodium would increase the risk of heart disease?

Raneados

yeah but diabetes?

2 ounces?



42 percent? 19 percent?


mmmm i think this is a correlation without causation thing

#pipe

2 ounces increasing the risk by by 42 percent?

no. no I don't.

It may be totally true, but "Research shows" is a phrase that makes my bullshit alarms go off.

Sarksus

Hot dogs aren't great to eat though I'm not sure if they're that bad.

tynic

All of germany is secretly simultaneously dead and diabetic.

Raneados

nobody's saying hotdogs arre health food but ONE hotdog or sausage a day is going to shitcan your risk for heart attacks and diabetes?

ehhhhhhh

Squall

good thing I don't eat hot dogs

Drew-B

Those numbers seem big, yeah, but...

If the odds are already very very small, increasing those odds by 50% or what have you isn't quite as extreme as it sounds.

I might be four times more likely to catch illness X because some of my lifestyle habits, and that seems horrible...until you realize that just means I have, statistically, a .0004% chance of coming down with said illness instead of a .0001% chance.


I mean, I'm just talking out of my ass with this hypothetical...but whateva

Raneados

do you eat sausages or bacon or basically any meat product that's not a steak

Wimble

I eat dogs, hot

is that bad

they aren't processed


whole foods

isn't the leading cause of death in america heart failure

Munkus Beaver

The data probably just shows that the people they tested who ate bacon happened to have heart disease 42% more of the time than vegans.

That is probably the only question on the questionare.

Do you eat bacon Y/N
Do you have heart disease Y/N

Heart disease, yeah (last I checked)

I just think that if we tallied up all the stuff we do to increase our risks of certain diseases, we'd probably have trouble sleeping.

There's probably a dozen other things I do/eat/be around in my life that increase my risk of heart disease at a similar level.
