To take their announcement with a grain of salt doesn't mean I won't believe everything they say. Just that I am not jumping on the walls when they say something. Just like you wouldn't believe a doctor on everything after you know he's in favor of eugenics.

That info they announced is -old- news in the first place. Everyone I know around here went "Meh, is that news?"

And they call me insane? I am the most sane person around!

Nobody's gonna take my rasher and sausage breakfast rolls away from me!

One thing you also have to keep in mind is concentrations. I am still skeptical a sausage has as big concentration of carcinogens as a cigarette. And the quantities used...well, if you ate as much sausages as smoke cigarettes...I think there'd be other more deadly effects than cancer.

There's also the question of how much of the carcinogenics that get taken up by systems they affect. Smoke goes into the lungs -> straight to the blood -> Everywhere.
How much in burnt bacon would get taken up from the stomach and intestines and how much would get pooped out?

And this is when I'm glad I prefer my bacon unburnt =D

Indeed!

Also, some food being carcinogen just means it adds to the % chance of getting cancer.

On the topic of suns... Don't you think it's weird we have 2 words for the same thing?

Imagine you calling cars "Automobiles" until the moment you take a seat inside one, then you call it a car.

Well, the most dangerous type radiation to humans is also the radiation that can be stopped by our skin if in a concentrated beam. So carcinogenics are weird. And yeah, I'm doubtful about amounts needed for burnt pork to be dangerous. (Not like high dosage of meat is that healthy in the first place but still). (Keyword in prev statement is "high").

But yeah. Alpha particle radiation = most harmful type. And most people who don't study radiation go "WHAT!?" since it can be stopped by skin. Or well, the people who know there are three types (actually four) of nuclear radiation (since there are other types) are.

As for two words for the same thing. Well, different reasons for different things. In the specific case for the sun. Just history. Sun and Stars used to be different objects. Then the sun just became the name for the star of our solar system (Or Sol in more official non English contexts in the western world).
Bigger question to me is why our planet has such a boring name. "Earth" is bullshit. (Technically a "the" before the word. I just ignore it!)

Saw this, thought of my druid. Don't know why.

That is all, let the talk of cancer continue.

Well...Earth is boring name and for that I blame English.

For example in Finnish its Maapallo, Earthball/globe.

Personally though, I've always liked Gaia or Terra.
