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 bcation.org What the Cluck? Tell KFC and Susan G. Komen for the Cure to stop pinkwashing!

I agree, greed can make something that was once pure, tainted. Pink stinks when it's wrapped up in inauthentic commercialism. I am signing that petition right now. Thanks again, I feel less guilty now for resisting the pink stuff. Thank you so much for shedding light on this important subject. I agree, greed can make something that was once pure, tainted.
