Yes, it's like saying cigarettes are 'too dangerous'. It's a bit of a silly conclusion. One shouldn't smoke a pack a day, if one wants to have good health. But if you're smoking here and there, it's probably not that bad, all things considered. I'm sure the same is true with processed meats. Having a hot dog a few times per year at the ballpark or a backyard bbq isn't going to ruin your life. But common sense dictates that you shouldn't eat these foods everyday for a multitude of reasons, not just cancer risk.
