On Saturday, March 8, SFU’s LOVE Club hosted a free event called “Why Don’t Vegans Eat Cheese?” The evening began with a presentation on cruelty in the dairy industry. Following the talk, guests were invited to sample various dairy and cruelty-free products, such as dairy-free cheeses, milks, butters, and pizza from Vegan Pizza House. One did not need to be a vegan or vegetarian to attend as it also pertained to those with a lactose intolerance or an interest in cruelty-free lifestyles.

The aim of the lecture series was to explore solutions for how we should manage our environment and ourselves in order to sustain life on earth.

News Peak Web -
By: Lucaiah Smith-Miodownik, News Writer Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are often recognized as the three most common forms of cancer treatment. Sometimes, the latter two approaches become no longer effective when cancers become drug resistant, allowing the cells to further spread. At the University of Calgary, however, promising developments in immunotherapy intervention seek to provide alternative treatment when common therapies are not viable.  Cells continually divide to replenish dying cells, but certain gene mutations can create cancer cells, which divide and spread in an uncontrolled manner. 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.
