Researchers at the National Cancer Institute studied 500,000 people between 50-71 years of age who took part in a major diet and health study. After eight years, findings reveal that the people who ate the most processed meat had a 20% higher risk of developing cancer. Several factors may play a role in why meat increases cancer risk. Meat is high in saturated fat and iron, each of which has independently been associated with carcinogenesis. Past studies also note that meat contains several chemicals known

animals, motivated her to start an animal club at her school. She says, “It’s not that people don’t want to help — it’s that people don’t know how or why they should, or how serious some of the problems are." Her club, the RH Prep Animal Club, meets Thursdays during lunchtime. The students vary in age, most are middle school students. The Animal Club’s first project is a bake sale to raise funds for endangered snow leopards. Sarah also has a particular interest in having gorillas. The popularity of bush meat has decreased their population. She also explains that “People are trading gorilla hands and heads and putting them on the black market.” Sarah sets a great example, turning compassion into action and making the world a better place.
