Join the Club: The Urban Hunter-Gatherers’ Club!

New to SFU? Missed clubs day? Finding it hard to make friends? Tired of sitting alone on Friday nights alphabetizing your tablespoons of the world collection? Well I’ll bet there’s a club that’ll help you cope with your crippling social phobias! “Join The Club” is a feature that showcases some of SFU’s lesser known clubs!

 

This week we highlight . . . The Urban Hunter-Gatherers’ Club!

 

Are you a Katniss wannabe? Are you a fan of eating locally? Are you tired of being shackled to the oppressive totalitarian structure known as Nesters? The Urban Hunter-Gatherers’ Club is. Come out to one of our weekly meetings, where we’ll teach you how to live off the fatta the lan’, or more accurately, the fatta the dumpster behind Walgreens. We can show you how to hunt local wildlife (rabbits, squirrels, house pets, stray children, etc.) and which plants to avoid when foraging. (Hint: It’s the ones that start with “poison;” ivy, sumac, etc.) We guarantee that once you’ve killed something, and eaten it raw and bleeding, you’ll never go back.

The human body naturally defends itself from cancerous cells, though sometimes they can “hide from the immune system and avoid being destroyed,” according to the Canadian Cancer Society. Immunotherapy seeks to help strengthen the ability to recognize and fight...
