KFC Partners with Komen to Fight Cancer
An ironic and very contradictory partnership has been announced: The
largest grassroots breast cancer advocacy group in the world, the "Susan
G. Komen for the Cure" group, has now partnered with the fast food chain
KFC in a national "Buckets for the Cure" campaign. Never mind that the
National Cancer Institute's website states that studies "have shown that
an increased risk of developing colorectal, pancreatic, and breast
cancer is associated with high intakes of well-done, fried or barbecued
meats". This whole mind-boggling partnership is well put in the words of
John Robbins who says: Pardon me for being cynical, but I have to ask,
if Komen is going to partner with KFC, why not take it a step further
and partner with a cigarette company? They could sell pink packages of
cigarettes, donating a few cents from each pack while claiming "each
pack you smoke brings us closer to the day cancer is vanquished
forever.""

Greed, Cancer and KFC buckets
It seems greed has no limits as exemplified in the partnership
between Komen and KFC. The only thing gained by this partnership is
money (benefiting both groups) while bringing misery and misinformation
to people who instead of supporting caner cure they’ll be supporting
disease and animal suffering.
