What the Cluck? Tell KFC and Susan G. Komen for the Cure to stop pinkwashing!
With their “Buckets for the Cure” campaign, KFC and Susan G. Komen for the Cure are telling us to buy buckets of unhealthy food to cure a disease that kills women. When a company purports to care about breast cancer by promoting a pink ribboned product, but manufactures products that are linked to the disease, we call that pinkwashing. Make no mistake–every pink bucket purchase will do more to benefit KFC’s bottom line than it will to cure breast cancer. Join us in telling KFC and Susan G. Komen for the Cure to rethink this pinkwashing partnership.

Well, I know were in a big mess in this country.But, as far as the pink crusade in Oct I’m all for it. I am a breast cancer survior and anything that will help this cause is fine by me.
I lost my best friend of B/C due to lack of info and more knowledge on her part.
Every big company is out to get us all and we all know this. But, their isn’t much we can do about.
To even think there is a cure for CANCER, and the medical team’s,pharmacy ect are making big mega bucks to keep us at their mercy is in-human but, look around what is happening in this country. We are nothing but spec’s in this huge universe.
Powerful companies, will control what we take,eat and drink and if it makes us sick it’s more money for the powerful.
It’s a game of the big, biggest and most powerful!

I have been suffering this attack of the Pink in silence, thinking how UnPC of me to complain. I hate pink! Always have; always will. But even if I didn’t, I would hate it now for the way the color has been usurped by advertisers hawking their products. This post needs to be seen in other venues…may I?

Great call to action Warrior Women. Cat you have nailed the pink elephant in the room. This whole pink thing diverts us from real action, remember “Just Say No.” Thank you.

Carine,
I’m scratching my head. I can’t pick a #1 public enemy. Today, it’s big pharma, tomorrow when I get dinged for paying my credit card in full, it’ll be the credit cards. I have a genetic testing company going back and forth with my insurance company, so really it just depends on the day, let the roulette wheel roll, pick an evil doer, any one will do.

I agree with George Carlin on this one. Check him out at:

The rest of us are just pawns scrambling around for the crumbs.
