So does that mean we will see a Govt health warning on a packet of bacon now?

(Please do not eat processed meat in front of your kids!)
(Segregated areas in restaurants for consuming bacon & eggs)

I know for a fact that God eats a lovely crisp bacon-sandwich every Saturday night when he sits down to watch Match Of The Day. Amen.

Stand by for the food taxes. Purely for our own good, of course.

WHO says a lot of things. It'll be a cold day in hell before I give up bacon.

They were never my favourite band anyway...

And now, apparently butchers see increased sales in Norway as people are buying more meat in protest to WHO's statements.

That's in Norwegian, but perhaps Google Translate will make something useful out of it. From the article:

Daniel Byskov has sold more meat than usual following WHO's warnings regarding carcinogens in meat. For the first time he has experienced running out of bacon.
