    Of those food items only the burger is unqualified bad. The tacos…well bread isn’t bad in and of itself, and a taco is just flour or corn bread. A fruit muffin doesn’t have to be bad – if it was a 1000 calorie whole foods muffin, sure, but otherwise just carbs and fruit. Eggs are high in protein and vitamins. But then you had the double griddle-fried 70/30 fatty burger charred to a cancer-inducing crisp.

      80/20 smash burgers. If I cook on a grill I don’t care as much about it being higher fat as the fat drips down, but smashing them on a stove top I go less., then I strain the fat off the flat pan I use and put it aside in a glass jar, to reuse when making something I want more flavor in. Same with if I ever make bacon, place it on a sheet pan, bake and strain off into a jar. I use the bacon one for vegetables like asparagus, because otherwise I honestly don’t care for asparagus on its own flavor. Broccoli, cauliflower, green beans and such don’t need flavor added, but sometimes the mood hits you.

      Not the healthiest, but there are worse things than vegatables you like in life haha

      How much does charred food actually increase risk of cancer? And what type of cancer?

      For some reason smokey slightly burnt food tastes really good to me and I’m not going to stop eating it.

        That’s fine, we all do stupid things. I use a vape pen. You murder intelligent creatures and overcook them. Tomato tomato

        As for the cancer impacts… fucking google it dude. If you’re taking cancer advice from Lemmy you are doing health wrong. But I believe it’s specifically men/colon

          The point of social media is to interact with other people, asking questions is a good way to do that. I asked you because you sounded like you knew what you were talking about. I did Google it and there is no good evidence that it causes cancer. But they think it might increase risk. It’s very hard to study that.

          Not once did I mention eating meat. I was a vegetarian for 20 years, I eat meat very occasionally nowadays.

            Oh sorry I mixed you up with the person I responded to since welll… There’s no pictures and this app kinda sucks a looooooot for giving context.

            My point on health advice stands, for all you know I’m chat gpt, and does x cause cancer is one of the fastest changing things around.
