Add health warnings to red meat and processed meat products

We think people deserve to know the risk to health of their actions. Anybody who has purchased cigarettes or tobacco will have noticed a health warning on the packet, and rightly so. Cigarettes can cause a plethora of issues. So can some meat products, and we want mandatory health warnings on these.
