The media rises in defense of bacon

Scare headlines were seldom seen in coverage of this week's report on the cancer risks from processed and red meats. Tabitha M. Powledge elaborates: "Google has collected many thousands of articles and blog posts, a large number of them showing (with data! and statistics!) that, for most people, there is very little cause for alarm, and few big changes in eating habits required. I can’t help wondering if these defenders of sausage have, um, a dog in this fight."
