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.

I was fed up and saddened by the fact that I couldn’t even buy my family groceries without being bombarded with reminders of cancer in the shape of pink ribbons on so many products. (I think of the ribbons as tumors and certainly don’t bring any into my home!) Humour and work for me was better than joining a marathon.
When I found out I had given my son yogurt that may add to his chance of getting cancer I just saw red… or pink everywhere.
Why us? Can you imagine if all the guys with prostate cancer had to see reminders every time they were in Safeway? I can tell you: men would not buy toilet paper with
prostate cancer advertising -let alone wear a ribbon announcing the fact!
