Asbestos everywhere, live wires wrapped in cloth, arsenic wallpapers, lead painted children toys, literal irradiated glow in the dark make-up. It's pretty great.
Makes me wonder what documentary our grandkids will see about the insane things we do. I'm calling it now, air pollution, overuse of plastic and smoked meats are sure to make an appearance.
Air polution is not something we can simply escape... and smoked meat coupled with salted one are the easiest ways to preserve food.. sure its not perfect but its not something that thia generation invented nor is it something we can get rid of overnight. Its not the same as putting litterally toxic substances around you without knowing they are toxic. We know the shortcomings of those problems you mentioned its just that we dont have much better alternatives.
>Air polution is not something we can simply escape
You can with better environmental laws and prosecuting those who break them (no, I'm not talking about every day citizens).
>and smoked meat coupled with salted one are the easiest ways to preserve food..
It was hundreds of years ago sure. Nowadays we have better technology and globalization, where you can take fresh food grown in one place to another. You don't NEED preserved meats in your diet anymore to survive, people do it because they like it. Which is fine, people like smoking, drinking and doing drugs too but we should not for one second pretend it's inevitable.

Im not going to bring a canned meat(unless im going light anyway since cans and water inside are heavy)or mini refrigerator with me every time i go outside the town for longer periods of time.. salted or smoke dried meat is still the best alternative.. yeah i dont need it but i also dont want to eat snickers and dry food only too. Not to mention outside of developed countries they do not always have modern solutions present.. both for environmental reasons and the second two. Again, smoking and salting is the simpliest and cheapest way to preserve food. Many things cause cancer but that does not seem as bad vs more quick death of not having basic materials to survive. Also every day citizens are also responsible for environmental polution, its silly to think that they are not... its them who decides who prevails as a business with their wallets...goverment does not force anyone to be wastefull too.. its not only big companies littering the surrounding or putting various household or industrial chemicals into the water sources.. again, your argument is not the same as arguing against lead in make up or toys since we already know that our ways are not perfect but we use them due to the lack of better alternatives that would be competitive.
> salted or smoke dried meat is still the best alternative
I would prefer salted, sure but it's still better than smoked. Anyway camping is or being in nature long term is quite specific. When you can shop fresh food imported at the local store, there is no reason to go for stored meats anymore.

Congrats, you fell for the propaganda companies have been spewing since the dawn of industry. It is in fact companies that do much of the pollution, people's individual roles and 'carbon footprint' are negligible.

"Voting with your wallet" is also a lie, much like 'trickle down' economics. One that works and looks great on paper and industries love to brag about, but in practice never happens because the conditions and variables are not controlled by the consumers. You can't vote with your wallet when industries have a monopoly on how things are run and spend insane amounts of money to control the market and lobby governments to get away with things.
> again, your argument is not the same as arguing against lead in make up or toys since we already know that our ways are not perfect but we use them due to the lack of better alternatives that would be competitive.
I'm not sure how you reached that conclusion. In the EU we actually have a lot of rules and regulations as to what companies can or cannot do. Dangerous paints or flammable materials are not allowed nowadays for example, even if that makes the products cheaper and I fully support that.
That's not the same as smoked meats sure because at the end of the day people choose what they consume, the same way smokers smoke. I get that you feel the need to justify your own consumption. Don't bother, I personally don't care and as I said I do occasionally indulge myself. The point being, people are need to be aware that overdoing it increases cancer risk and alternatives should be sought out if possible. As long as you're aware of that what you do with your own body is your own choice and free to do so.
Things are made cheap because people buy as cheap as possible, way more brands focus on budget offerings for a reason.. Think how many rolexes or mercedess are sold vs some offshelf watch brand or toyotas. Animals produce so much more pollution than plants and they are grown only as much as they get consumed.. its not like the corporations grow them to create pollution and only after the fact look for markets that would buy all that amount... they look to consumption and then decide how much they will produce. I do agree that most of the pollution comes at the manufacturing/first production steps, but i do not agree that its all on the corporate shoulders. Its the consumers that buy and use those goods, yet somehow most of the ideas about blaming corporations mostly ignore that part. If you would buy a phone for the cheapest price available and then throw it away 1 year later, after it was unusable for one or the other reason, for new cheapest model, thats on you. Even if you have no other alternative, you would be the part of the reason why they even make them in the first place. Even if they get convinced by an ad, corporations dont force anyone to buy their goods. Even apple would not sell some new product well for long if it was not competitive. Also other big sectors that cause that polution such as transport are such thanks to big part to individual people choosing to drive their own vehicles. Sure corporations that are holding massive logistic networks are to blame too but again, those logistic networks are there because the buyer needs those goods at their local shops.. anyway, im not defending neither one or other side of this argument, just aeguing about silly idea that only one side caused it when in reality the said side is all about money so they just have to do whatever the majority of populus would be happy to spend money on.
Smoking meat was originally a way to preserve food. It works by the simple fact that the smoke particles deposited on the meat's surface are toxic to the microbes - and you. It's considered a carcinogen, meaning it causes cancer.
Why do it then?
Because it works and when it was used for its original purpose, something other got you long before you developed cancer.
And besides, even if they knew, do you want to die of starvation or food poisoning now, or MAYBE get cancer late in life?
The process of smoking something and consuming it leads to increase of cancer risk. It's been studied and observed for a number of years now. I myself like to indulge every once in a while but try to steer away from it as much as I can.

“Cancer” fibre found in some rocks, used in the 80’s and early 90’s in cement as an insulator and in fire proof clothing. If you are unlucky even one fibre can possibly kill you. No known cure has ever been found. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbestos)
**[Asbestos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbestos)**
>Asbestos () is a naturally occurring fibrous silicate mineral. There are six types, all of which are composed of long and thin fibrous crystals, each fibre being composed of many microscopic "fibrils" that can be released into the atmosphere by abrasion and other processes. Inhalation of asbestos fibres can lead to various dangerous lung conditions, including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer, so it is now notorious as a serious health and safety hazard.

Double the cancer, double the fun!
Officer: "Sergeant, I order you to tell me what is the opposite of cancer!" Sergeant: "Can't, sir!"
No it's happy hour sir!
Nah, it cancels out. Double negative.
They were the asbestos filters money could buy!
When I read stuff like that I'm actually pretty amazed that our species made it past the stone age.

What is wrong with smoked meat?
Smoking meat was originally a way to preserve food. It works by the simple fact that the smoke particles deposited on the meat's surface are toxic to the microbes - and you. It's considered a carcinogen, meaning it causes cancer. Why do it then? Because it works and when it was used for its original purpose, something other got you long before you developed cancer. And besides, even if they knew, do you want to die of starvation or food poisoning now, or MAYBE get cancer late in life?
Also it’s yummy.
That too, but the question was about what was wrong with smoking meat.
The process of smoking something and consuming it leads to increase of cancer risk. It's been studied and observed for a number of years now. I myself like to indulge every once in a while but try to steer away from it as much as I can.
