Pink Ribbon Articles
The Politics Behind the Pink Ribbon - MSNBC October 22nd, 2008
"The saturation of breast cancer awareness has left even some survivors dismayed. Writer, social critic, and former breast cancer patient Barbara Ehrenreich has called the movement “an outbreak of mass delusion,” and “a cult.”
“The products — teddy bears, pink-ribbon brooches, and so forth — serve as amulets and talismans, comforting the sufferer and providing visible evidence of faith,” she has written."
Pink Ribbon Promises - Time Magazine 2006
"Jarmoska is not alone in her suspicion. A growing number of breast-cancer activists and organizations have become concerned that the pink ribbon-- an emblem of breast-cancer awareness since 1992--has been hijacked for marketing purposes, a phenomenon that some call pink washing. Last year the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, the nation's largest private charity focusing on breast cancer, urged consumers to start asking questions like how much of the money they spend on pink purchases will actually go to charity, what kind of activities does the charity support and what has its record been?"
Yet Komen still supports pink washing...?
"Pink washing creates a dilemma for charities like Komen, which raises about $30 million a year by working with pink-promotion partners."
Did I read that right? $30 million dollars alone from from ethically illicit marketing campaigns?
So that means we should take Komen's advice and ask Susan G. Komen foundation what percentage of their donations go to where.

Worlds Largest Pink Ribbon 2004 brought to you by 3M also known for Post-it-Notes and animal testing.
3M also provided vaccine technology this year for Safoni-Aventis, a fellow pinkwasher who also claim to do oncology research. Sanofi-Aventis also paid the U.S. government $190 million for pricing fraud of the drug Anzemet which primarily is coupled with oncology and radiation treatment.

It creeps me out when I walk into a grocery store and the first thing I see is a blazen pink display from a company profiting off donations. It's pretty sick actually how the bottom line is fear mongering for profit! Insulting to say the least.
They are clever ads but are for all the wrong reasons.

Cancer is the number 2 killer in the US. Hopi, Navajo and Alaskan Indians
and several other tribes around the world (Africa included) never

Vitamin C is proposed to be banned in Canada and is considered
a toxin. You will only be able to get it with a PRESCRIPTION.
What if they decided to ban it in the US. Are they going to
ban orange juice too!
(This is not medical advice. I am a certified sports nutritionist and this is only a compilation of the foods to eat in addition to some of your favorites. If you have been prescribed meds for heart disease or cancer do not stop taking them on the advice from this post. However do your research and question the medications you are prescribed. There is no such thing as alternative medicine but there is such a thing as organized medicine. Know the difference.)
