Those that over-consume really over-consume

I saw this story – about how one-fifth of the people eat one-half of the meat and I have been trying to wrap my brain around it, thinking in terms of how it’s essentially the same for alcoholics, where the top 10% of all drinkers consume half of all the alcohol consumed in the US. These are both group one carcinogens.

Those that over-consume these cancer-causing products are undoubtedly the folks that are over-consuming health care, as well.

Men have a 22.05 percent lifetime risk of dying from cancer, while the risk for women hovers around 18.75 percent. That’s roughly one-fifth of the population.

I see a correlation like Cole Sear sees dead people.
