So I was reading in the USA Today the other day and read that eating processed meat often (hot dogs, lunchmeat) can increase the risk of colon cancer by 21%!!!
Both sides of my family have cancer in their genes (and my mom died from cancer), so this really shocked me. I had just started packing my lunch for school to save money (otherwise I end up spending $7 a day at the school coffee shop), and had been packing ham and cheese sandwiches.
So today I took a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on wheat bread, which wasn't really satisfying. I was looking for some ideas of what I can pack that doesn't require heating (though I can use the microwave in the student lounge, I'd prefer to just go out to my car), and doesn't contain processed meat.
I'm probably like 98% likely to get cancer already, I don't need 21% more...LOL (I mean there are like 6 people on boths sides of my family who had cancer...)
