KFC… Fried Chicken to Cure Cancer?
April 23rd, 2010
Susan G. Komen and KFC have joined forces in raising money to “find a cure.” Enough with the “cure!” - how about prevention and/or showing us where the billions of dollars are going?
Buy a breast and save a breast? I don’t think so… it’s more like… buy a bucket of chicken and kick the bucket! More than a billion dollars have been raised via Susan G. Komen and the various manufacturers and/or food companies. A marketing match made in heaven – a win-win money making venture? A “cure” should involve health, not WEALTH!
As if these “opposites attract” joint ventures weren’t enough, many continue to “Race for the Cure” and/or give to what they feel is a worthy cause. It can be worthy, however… doing your homework as to where the money is going or when a ” cure” will be found ought be done. Somewhere somehow the pink ribbon marketing gurus have succeeded in brainwashing millions of people into buying and giving more.
Please know… I am not against helping any one person or organization, but it shouldn’t solely be for the sheer pleasure of helping. I believe in helping people who help themselves. Fried chicken among other fund raising products, is not a step toward a cure. Many people are already digging their graves with their teeth – they don’t need anymore enticing! Consideration must be given to prevention firstly and secondly to real cures, not some mere pink bucket of chicken.
