2 legs good, 4 legs better?

Were I still a stroppy teenage vegetarian I would be holding this up as proof of the fact that we shouldn't eat meat, but as I've given in to the gastronmic joys of our fishy friends recently I don't have a leg to stand on in the beast eating moral argument.

I'm all in favour of the latest food health scare, after all, it gives the Daily Express a chance to write some stories other than 'Cherie Blair gave my house price cancer', but bacon giving you lung disease? I'm pretty sure there is a very solid scientific background that I'm just not quite clever enough to understand but for the time being I'm not going to get too concerned as my mates tuck into a restoritive fry up the morning after the night before. If any of you can explain it in peasant terms to me, please feel free.
