KFC & Susan Kormen For the Cure hook up to fight breast cancer, Are you kidding?

It has been said often that truth can be stranger than fiction, and no more so than in the latest case of a dangerously misleading alliance. This one involves The Susan G. Kormen for the Cure; an organization that raises awareness of breast cancer, hooking up with fast food giant, Kentucky Fried Chicken to sell pink buckets of fried chicken.

Their campaign slogan "Buckets for the Cure"  is absurd and profoundly deceitful. The game goes like this; for every bucket of KFC that someone buys, supposedly fifty cents goes to research for a cure for breast cancer.

What's wrong with that? you might ask. For starters, raising money from a product that is linked to poor health is a bargain with the devil and the height of hypocrisy. KFC is not a healthy choice. If one chooses to eat it, that is their personal choice, but to suggest that by eating it, we can help find a cure to cancer is misleading, as well as dangerous to anyone who now might falsely think that fast food KFC has cancer health benefits.

In addition to the pharmacology mix of who knows what hormones and toxic chemicals were fed to KFC chickens, are the highly processed white flour, white sugar, salt, pepper, oil and monosodium glutamate (MSG- a neurotoxic flavor enhancer) used to make the frying batter. When you heat oil at high temperatures the oil becomes rancid. Additionally the starches used, create acrylamides, a toxic chemical by-product. The high saturated fat content alone, in KFC is one more anti-health ingredient. All of the ingredients mentioned have been linked to cancer, obesity, diabetes and or degenerative diseases.

So how could a cancer research organization, such as Susan G. Kormen align themselves with KFC? Suggesting to people to buy one of the very foods that is said be linked to cancer? This is an egregious insult to all those people and families of, who are valiantly fighting cancer who need support and trusted information on healthy choices for their diets.

So sadly, this type of marketing once again highlights the gross negligence of marketing misfits and corporations who are not looking after the health and welfare of the people they are speaking to but are only looking to line their pockets, after they have attempted to line our minds with fraudulent information.

If the goal is to find a cure for cancer then it is time to start aligning with people and corporations that are actually on board with products and services that promote cures and that actually do support health. Aligning with any other is like sleeping with the enemy. Not a wise choice.
