Background

The World Cancer Research Fund recommends eating little, if any, processed meat, because of evidence that eating processed meat increases your risk of bowel cancer. We think that removing these foods from school dinners could help save lives.

Additional details

Processed meats include ham, bacon, hotdogs, some sausages, pepperoni, salami and other deli meats. General childhood cancer cases are on the rise. We have the power to remove cancer linked foods from our children's' school dinners.
