The World Health Organisation is to list processed meat among the most cancer-causing substances, alongside arsenic and asbestos. Fresh red meat is also due to join the 'encyclopaedia of carcinogens' and is likely to be ranked as only slightly less dangerous than the preserved products.
The rulings, revealed to the Mail by a well-placed source, will send shock waves through the farming industry and the fast food sector. They could also lead to new dietary guidelines and warning labels on packs of bacon. The classifications, by the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer, come amid mounting concern that meat fuels the disease which claims more than 150,000 lives a year in the UK.

eating meat is eating boring
the hindus know how to make the most savory food and as long as you go light on the ghee (clarified butter) it is healthy as fuck
one of the benefits of a billion vegetarians all in the same country, they have had a lot of man-hours of experimentation

I don't like Indian food. I'm obviously forced to stick with the bacon.

Eating meat is eating boring? Speak for yourself. And go ahead and stick to your vegetarian diet. The more people going vegetarian, the better for us meat eaters.
The rest of us can learn and benefit from the inventions and traditions of billions of omnivores in the world. I eat and enjoy Indian vegetarian food AND other non-vegetarian foods - sashimi, horse meat sausage with pasta, deep fried silkworms, lamb liver with malawah bread, german style sausages, steak, pizza, burgers, pies, shawarma, paru, perut ikan etc. I've had good indian vegetarian food. It's nice but sticking to eating just that is boring in comparison to being an omnivore[1].
As for "healthy as fuck", Indians don't seem to be that healthy on average. The Japanese and Scandinavian diets seem to be healthier based on existing scientific evidence, which indicates eating oceanic fish is good for humans (lower rates of depression, heart attacks and strokes). And eating fish is definitely not vegetarian.
Chinese style vegetarian fish does not count (even if they include stuff like sticks of sugar cane to simulate fish bone... So that you can get the same experience of choking on a fishbone if you want?:p ).
[1] And not just any omnivore - humans are one of the few mammals that digest their food outside their bodies in a process called cooking. This allows us to consume a far wider range of foods while not having to carry around many huge stomachs (or eat our own poop like rabbits).
