Yes, BIG news.
The whole thing has been blown way out of proportion.
"Processed meat in the same carcenogenic category as tobacco and alcohol." But failing to note that just means a proven link, nothing to do with the size of the risk posed.

They are not presenting the WHO findings in context or perspective unless you really dig down into the detail of some of their reporting.
