Re: Snack Food Association praises WHO for stopping short

The Snack Food Association ? which represents manufacturers of some of the foods heavily implicated ? said it was pleased that WHO stopped short of recommending that consumers change their diet and that the risks were overstated.
"We have been cooking food at high temperatures for more than 360,000 years," the association said. "The best advice for consumers is to continue to eat a moderate amount of a wide variety of foods, including potato chips."

I don't have any idea whether or not that 360,000 number is correct, but even if it is, what they forgot to mention is that, for the first 353,000 years, we were cooking meat, not bread or breakfast cereals or potato chips.
