What about the fact that it has to do with how many buckets the restaurant buys, not how many the consumer buys. It’s one more sneaky way to get us to help contribute to their pocketbooks while thinking we have some sort of impact on the world.

Screw ‘em!

Here’s what my wife and I did and proposed to the listeners of our podcast. Donate the cost of a bucket of chicken directly to Komen and have a meal at home in lieu of going out to KFC.

The Susan G. Komen Foundation is a cancer industry front group funded by Big Pharma. They need KFC to sell cancer-causing foods to the sheeple while part of the proceeds from the Buckets Of Death go to fund Big Pharma’s lap dogs. Ms. Komen must be turning in her grave at how her name is being used to kill people.

As someone whose family has been touched by breast cancer I applaud organizations that raise money to help find a cure for this dreaded disease. I think one reason these organizations (Komen, Red Cross, St. Judes, American Cancer Society etc…) look to corporations for funding is that they have the ability to give large sums of money that can be use to help further the cause they believe in. How else are they going to raise money? I was reading somewhere that Komen was the #1 most trusted charity that people want to give to and this is based on how judicially they spend the money they receive. IF this is the case then I do not see a problem with it. I mean how much money can you raise by passing the hat and I would think it takes a lot to fund research.

I think its a great idea to get any corporation to donate monies for breat cancer’s cure. The money from purchasing goes somewhere so why not to a worthy cause? Watching my mother and wife suffer and die from this horrific disease leaves even more determined to fight for a cure. Thanks KFC, me and millions of others appreciate your philanthropy and don’t agree with the hypocrites and petty arrogant naysayers.

Just as I suspected, the Susan G Komen foundation belongs in the same category as the Amercian Diabetes Association…the category is named (by me) “ORGANIZATIONS THAT SAY THEY”RE SEARCHING FOR A CURE, BUT ARE NOT REALLY, BECAUSE THEN THEY WOULDN’T BE IN EXISTANCE” I mean, when I think of cancer, the first thing I think about is “what are you eating?”. Is it real food without any chemicals, grown or raised organically, withound flavor enhancers(msg) and lots of other crap/chemicals?

Thanks for this post. It is a truly offensive and harmful alliance. Breast Cancer Action’s “What the Cluck?” campaign is calling out KFC and Susan G. Komen for the Cure on this pinkwashing partnership. Almost 1,000 people from all over the country have written to them to denounce this pinkwashing. You can find the campaign here: http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/6098/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2758.

P.S. And please explain to me why on the Komen website there is NO…NONE…NADA information on nutrition, vitamin D, minerals, etc. Not even under the section titled ‘factors that affect breast cancer’. It’s all about big pharma/medicine and ‘give us your money’. There will never be a cure for cancer. It’s to big of a ‘business’ for too many people. What senior leader at Komen thought this was a great idea and approved this? Stunningly stupid.

Umm, the “grilled chicken” is not healthier. It has less fat, but it still has hormones, antibiotics, chemicals, shit (literally) and other stuff in it. If they were truly encouraging people to eat healthier there, the vegetable bags would be pink too. They’re not. Better yet, they would have picked a healthier restaurant chain to partner with. So, don’t give me this media spin that there are healthy choices there. And in regards to Komen’s comment that they’re doing this to ‘reach people they normally wouldn’t reach’. Bullshit. Where are they going to ‘reach’ next – bars, adult magazine stores, gambling boats? What a joke.
