pink, pink, everywhere pink!
i go to the grocery store a lot. why? because i'm a crappy food planner.. and it just happens that smith's and @lbertson's are right on my way home, so it's terribly easy as well.
over the last week or so i've been hit by pink. everywhere, everything, pink! ice cream, saltines, juice, soup. seriously, everywhere. now, goodie for me - i'm starting to really like pink. i actually want to wear it, put it up in my home, etc.. and so i'm drawn to all this pink..
but last year i got to see barbara brenner of breast cancer action speak before i left eugene. she talked about the marketing attached to all these items, and actually spoke about things like - yoplait and all their cancer causing hormones donating $ to cancer. we buy their stuff, they cause cancer, they donate $ to assuage their guilt. kinda whacky eh?
before you purchase anything pink - click on that picture up there to learn about other things you can do to raise money for cancer stuff (e.g. donate directly to the cause), because even though i don't like what they are doing through all the pink, i do appreciate donating money to the cause. cancer sucks, i hate what it does to people. it ends too many lives too early, and something needs to be done.
want some places you can donate to?
