The color pink has been
associated with the issue of breast cancer for quite some time now. The massive
campaign has gained so much ground that it has become a common culture in many
parts of the world. Today, any fight against breast cancer is tagged with the
color pink. Natural News reports that it is nothing but a simple profit
earning stunt from big corporations who are marketing a disease brand rather
than making people aware of the real dangers and solutions of breast cancer.
The massive eyewash campaign has
been propagated successfully to such an extent that even professional athletes
are now using pink towels and pinks shoes on the field. The rise of ‘Pink’ is
fetching huge profits to those whose products are the main origin of breast
cancer. This campaign hardly takes any initiative other than selling products
in order to mis-educate people about the age old procedures that rarely effective in
preventing and even curing cancer.
Natural News reports that this
campaign is nothing but propaganda perfectly designed to squeeze money out of
common people. There are a lot of compassionate people who donate money to the
campaign thinking that this will do some good in the fight against cancer, but
what they do not know is that this money gets accumulated in the pockets of
corporate giants.
The fight against tobacco has
become a matter of least importance as far as government initiative is
concerned. According to Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, only $460 million out
of $25.7 billion which will be given to the 50 U.S. states
to fight smoking will be used in anti-tobacco campaigns. The same was with the
$246 billion that was paid by tobacco companies to the U.S.
government as a part of 1998 Tobacco master Settlement Agreement.
