Ultra processed foods, which are a large part of many people’s diets, definitely cause cancer[0].

While not directly what we were talking about, this is also true. :/

Yeah my bad, it originally had a comment on the multiple jokes seeming to mock a valid claim, though I now get that those were mostly in response to the broadness of “food”.

Nah you still make a good point IMO, it’s very easy to fall into the trap of a false dichotomy between “eat as much as you want of whatever you want forever” vs. “never eating again because food is cancer”. The post I responded to did this and I unthinkingly followed their lead for more laughs. It was still funny but thinking more about it as well is always good.
