From your link they call out both processed meat and red meat. They do distinguish that processed meat "causes" and red meat "probably causes" cancer.

With granularity, both explained in the FAQ and how they're classified (and classified differently).

You seem to have taken my comment personally. There's a lot of options between eating red meat and being vegan that don't consist of "eating hot dogs all day every day".
To my point, the FAQ you linked has the question about whether eating fish or poultry is better to which their answer is : "The cancer risks associated with consumption of poultry and fish were not evaluated."
As I remember the announcement it was "meat", though it's totally possible it was "red meat" and I just remembered it wrong. Though I specifically tried to find more information about why they classified it as such, and which studies they relied on, and there was no information to be had, certainly not the FAQ you linked. The only thing they had was about a two sentence announcement declaring it as a carcinogen.

But if you would like to own the vegans, you're more than welcome to eat hot dogs all day, every day, exclusively and we'll see what happens.
