Nothing makes me hungrier for chicken than breast cancer. I'm really not sure how healthy it would be for people to eat factory farmed chicken pressure-fried in rancid oil. Telling people that they're helping someone by poisoning their bodies makes no sense. Best just to give to the cause. Mazarine Dear BcAction,

Thank you for your concern over pinkwashing. Nothing makes me hungrier for chicken than breast cancer. I’m really not sure how healthy it would be for people to eat factory farmed chicken pressure-fried in rancid oil. Telling people that they’re helping someone by poisoning their bodies makes no sense.

Best just to give to the cause.

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. Breast Cancer Action bcaction.org What the Cluck? Tell KFC and Susan G. Komen for the Cure to stop pinkwashing!
