That's an example, not an argument.
The argument is that we're taking a major public health risk on the basis of low-quality science, in an industry with a questionable track-record.
This isn't just a new food product. This is more directly comparable to a new pharmacological compound, and ought to be treated as such.

Bacon and sausages are believed to cause cancer at a rate of about 1 per thousand - not quite as dangerous as trans fats are for heart disease, but still a major public health issue.
