Doctors from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), an organization made up of more than 12,000 medical professionals, protested against McDonalds Bacon Hour. During the promotion, customers received free bacon with any order.
The demonstration saw to doctors holding red-and-yellow signs reading #BreakUpWithBacon, Colorectal Cancer: Im Riskin It, and Bacon Causes Butt Cancer outside of a Washington DC McDonalds restaurant. PCRM also handed out colorectal cancer screening kits.
Your colon wont be lovin McDonalds Bacon Hour, said PCRM president and founder Neal Barnard, M.D. McDonalds should be offering customers a free colorectal cancer screening with every free side of cancer-causing bacon.
Bacon and other processed meats like cold cuts have been shown to raise ones risk of various forms of cancer, including colorectal. In October 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified it as carcinogenic to humans after reviewing more than 800 diet-related studies. The WHO concluded that a few slices of bacon eaten daily could increase ones colorectal cancer risk by 18 percent.
Research released by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) last June added to this, stating that even small amounts of processed meat can raise ones risk(snip)
The WCRF recommended eating very little, if any, processed meat.
PCRM dietitian Lee Crosby also wrote to McDonalds CEO Steve Easterbrook to ask the chain to serve more plant-based options.
Instead of Bacon Hour, consider a nationwide launch of your vegan McAloo Tikki burger, which was recently featured at your Chicago headquarters. Its potatoes, peas, red onions, and tomato slices, which are high in fiber and other protective nutrients, work to reduce colorectal cancer risk, he said.

Speaking of assholes...
Ten bucks says that these same "physicians" (their license status should be checked) have never made it clear that gay butt *sex* causes butt cancer.
Personally? I like the cheap store brand stuff. Fries up nice and crisp. However, as I get (ahem) older, I'm finding that it doesn't like me so much.....
My mouth waters looking at that photo. I would grab a handful and chow down.
Oh sure...I’ll just have a Big Mac but hold the meat.

Put a white coat on an idiot and you have an idiot in a white coat.
OTOH, this stuff could be a good argument for me switching out my deli meats for raw chicken and steaks that I can cook. Then I could easily handle the occasional bacon (yum).
DANG!
Aint THAT the truth. Youd think a site called Free Republic would welcome free choice of lifestyles also for those who dont agree with theirs.

Me too, I eat turkey bacon because cant eat the pig (religious reasons), and I buy natural turkey bacon without the nitrates or the msg. I even sometimes add coconut oil to the pan to get it more sizzling, since the makers of turkey bacon think people do not want fat! WRONG! We want the flavor and that is in that fat! But its still good.
