Vegetarians 'avoid more cancers'

From the BBC:

Vegetarians are generally less likely than meat eaters to develop cancer

Well that's all well and good, but being a vegetarian has two major draw-backs:

Firstly, you can't eat meat. A fairly obvious draw-back, really, but one that can't be underestimated. No more bacon cobs to cut through your hang-over, no more juicy steak, chips & mushrooms, mmmmmmmmmm, and more worryingly, no more kebabs.

And secondly; Most, if not all, vegetarians are pompous pretentious supercilious tossers of the highest order, drunk on their own misguided sense of self-importance, convinced that everyone else needs to be told about their eating habits while deep down yearning for a roast dinner, crackling and potatoes done in goose fat.

Having already had cancer, personally, I'd rather avoid vegetarians.
