Guiding Question for the Junior Division of the Grand Final of the contest:
The World Health Organization (WHO) says processed meat (such as bacon, sausages and hot dogs) can cause cancer. This puts processed meats in the same category of other cancer risks, like tobacco and asbestos. Even though the International Agency for Research on Cancer says that this does not mean that processed meats are equally dangerous, the risk of cancer is still believed to increase with the amount of meat consumed.
Should it be the government’s responsibility to have warning labels on meat products like those on cigarettes? Should public health transcend the freedom of choice, especially in food products?
