Whoever has been in charge of promoting Breast Cancer Awareness Month has done a banner job this year. Wow! Every time I turn my head, I see a pink ribbon magnet on a car or a breast cancer billboard or TV commercial. It’s as if you’d have to be living in a cave to NOT know that this month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Here is just a smattering of examples:
- At Kmart they are handing out to women little information cards with mammogram information and self-exam tips.
- Panera Bread is offering a Pink Ribbon Bagel with cherry chips, dried Bing cherries and cranberries. Proceeds from the sales of this ribbon-shaped bagel help support national and local breast cancer programs.
- This month Cooking.com is promoting a line of limited-edition pink kitchen appliances — from pink KitchenAid mixers to pink fondue sets from Trudeau. Again, when you purchase these products, donations are made to help fight breast cancer.
- Even Campbell Soup Company has changed their classic condensed soup cans from red to pink! (Andy Warhol, move over.) The back of each label reads: “Join the Fight – Your purchase of this can will help Campbell made a donation in support of breast cancer awareness. Together we can make a difference.â€
Ok, hopefully we are all aware now… Let’s find a cure!

It’s kinda weird to see chicken noodle soup in pink, isn’t it? Just not sure I could eat it! :)
Kind of weird to promote the cause on a product that is more likely to cause cancer. check out my post on the fruit servings we American’s get a day – less than 1 serving. my blog is all about how to increase our health, and a big topic is fighting cancer of all kinds
Hello “MonaVie Drinker” – I appreciate your comment, but had to edit it slightly for blatant promotion of your site.
In the future, please make your comments more helpful. Include the information you’re referencing in your comment rather than telling people to go to your blog for “the rest of the story.”
Thanks!
Ryan
