    Of those food items only the burger is unqualified bad. The tacos…well bread isn’t bad in and of itself, and a taco is just flour or corn bread. A fruit muffin doesn’t have to be bad – if it was a 1000 calorie whole foods muffin, sure, but otherwise just carbs and fruit. Eggs are high in protein and vitamins. But then you had the double griddle-fried 70/30 fatty burger charred to a cancer-inducing crisp.

      How much does charred food actually increase risk of cancer? And what type of cancer?

      For some reason smokey slightly burnt food tastes really good to me and I’m not going to stop eating it.

      80/20 smash burgers. If I cook on a grill I don’t care as much about it being higher fat as the fat drips down, but smashing them on a stove top I go less., then I strain the fat off the flat pan I use and put it aside in a glass jar, to reuse when making something I want more flavor in. Same with if I ever make bacon, place it on a sheet pan, bake and strain off into a jar. I use the bacon one for vegetables like asparagus, because otherwise I honestly don’t care for asparagus on its own flavor. Broccoli, cauliflower, green beans and such don’t need flavor added, but sometimes the mood hits you.

      Not the healthiest, but there are worse things than vegatables you like in life haha
