I understand that disliking mayonnaise is far from a universal stance. I’ve always felt it to be an overpowering blandness that ruins a good burger, but I respect that plenty of others consider it a staple of sandwiches and dips. Everybody’s got different tastes.

     What I don’t understand is why so many restaurants just don’t feel the need to list it as a significant aspect of a menu item.

     I can’t think of many toppings that get the same treatment. Occasionally veggies or a pickle will go unmentioned, but these are things that can be easily removed in most foods. As a sauce, mayonnaise soaks into the bread and coats the meat and veggies, infecting them with an all-encompassing flavour and goopy texture. There’s no escape from its oily and eggy taste once it’s arrived.

     It’s certainly unfair to expel mayonnaise from our world, but I’m not convinced that enough people like it to justify its silent inclusion. I’m so tired of uncomfortably asking, “Hi, um, so are there any sauces on this burger?” All I want is to make my picky sandwich orders as quick and easy as possible for everyone involved.

New immunotherapy treatment provides hope for aggressive cancer

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.
