    I think it’s more the industrial farming and food processing practices that make it carcinogenic.

      It’s not. Remember that evolutionary incentives don’t care if you tend to live very far fast 32.

        It actually is. Most carcinogenic evidence on meats come from processed meats. Per cited references, eating way too much red meat is “probably” a cause for cancer, but eating processed meats is definitely a cause for cancer.

        And by “way too much”, that’s 1.5lbs/week. I love a good steak, but don’t really eat 1.5lbs/week of it.
