New cause of cancer found (you wont beleive this one)

Zip · 4 Apr 2006 at 19:58

Just watching NBC today on tv then and they did a report on something that causes cancer, inparticular prostate cancer and the thing is.................................................................

Chard grilled meat :eek:

Thats right, meat that has gotten cooked so its got black chard spots on it.
Its supposed to produce a chemical that causes cancer.
They said its safe to eat aslong as you cut off the chard black bits.

Whats next though? Toilet paper causing canser :rolleyes:

Its getting a bout out of control if you ask me

That's old news surely?

I thought it was well known that burnt food contained high levels of some cancer causing chemical.

If we listened to the news and lived by it we'd kill our selves at birth cus everything kills us in one way or another

I knew that ages ago too, thought they found out about that a long time ago. And common sense really should tell you that burnt food isn't good for you.

BBQed meat is the main culprit and meat cooked on grills over an open flame

Nope the pestacide and chemicals used on it kill us to theres just no escaping it

same with toast, you're supposed to scrape the charred bits off if it gets burnt. I prefer mine a bit less toasty but my boss loves it like it's been cremated.

I have you know that chicken is sticky

We dont go around eating pigs blood and sheep stomachs either

In fact i think most the food we eat isnt really "Australian" food, just what people eat from over seas and bring recipes with them :eek:

Well except maybe some styles of cooking lamb and a few other things

JohnnyG · 4 Apr 2006 at 20:51

I know exactly what you weirdos eat, I've seen 'I'm a celebrity...' & 'Bushtucker man'.

They do us no justice

Its lies all lies i tells you.
Now where did my pet crocodile go?
It better not be out eating chasing the kangaroo again

Oh one thing that makes our country different to any other is that we are allowed to eat the animals that we use on our coat of arms(the emu and kangaroo)
I dont think any other country is allowed to.
Still i have not eaten either kangaroo or emu

iSam · 4 Apr 2006 at 20:57

I heard about it, but I guess everything is carcinogenic to a degree.

I wont eat burnt things again though!

Oh Zip is that Chargrilled 'Shaved' Chicken?!
