Breast Cancer Awareness Month

I am so glad to see that an illness like Breast Cancer is being recognized as a serious disease. As people who have been touched by cancer know, awareness is key to a lasting recovery. The story of the Komen Breast Cancer fund is one of love and survival of hope. Breast Cancer Awareness is so widespread during the month of October that pink will soon be considered a fall color: which is not a bad thing. HOWEVER, I draw the line when I think that people's health is at stake. Let me back up a bit....Pink riboons....ok.....Pink headbands....ok.......Save the tatas.....crude but ok.....pink t-shirts....ok....hot pink cakes with corresponding hot pink icing....not ok!!!!!!I REPEAT!!!!!!!!!!NOT.OK. I think that we as members of a "civilized" society that has effed up many a thing, including our food supply, we should let reasoning take control over our emotions...Hello we are the same society that put Red 40 in M&Ms and then LATER found out it is carcinogenic!!!! I am just saying that we realize that a lot of the foods that we eat have additives that are not necessarily proven to be safe over long term use. Why add some questionable pink in the mix???!!! I mean I have seen pink cakes, cupcakes, etc. and people buy it because a portion of the proceeds will go to Breast Cancer support of some kind. Am I the only one who finds this absolutely ridiculous??? I mean is it not proven that we should stay away from stuff like that to AVOID CANCER????
