KFC wants you to help end breast cancer by buying a bucket of obesity- and heart attack-inducing food

IT'S JUST AS RIDICULOUS AS THE TOBACCO COMPANIES LOANING MONEY TO THE GOVERNMENT FOR HEALTH CONCERNS. I do agree that we are responsible for what we eat, drink, & smoke. We do not need anyone telling us what to do. We should be informed about the dangers, but not punished. It's all a matter of choice: grilled vs fried, fruit in lieu of pastry, etc. Stop blaming others!

Wow. What a dummy move.

This article reminds me of the whining lady I work with. She's so scare of everything! She takes care of herself to the extreme and is always so grouchy and always telling people what to do and how to do it. "Don't do this because this this this and that"! People should be held accountable for their actions. You can't always babysit people... For petes sakes LIGHTING UP.

I can't believe that, these people are trying to do something good (yes, I'm aware is not a super amount to donate per bucket but still...) and everybody's bitching about it! Don't you think that, at the very least, the commercials are reminding us of the problem, which makes us more aware? It reminds us daily that people are suffering with this disease and we need to help, no matter how we do it. People have something called a "free will" and will do as they please and eat what they want regardless of what anyone says. So let's just be glad someone else threw their hat in the ring to help stop breast cancer, help however we choose to, and stop complaining!

Umm, did you know you can cut those calories and sodium by a third just by taking the skin off? Seriously, why such hate over chicken that can be made healthy. Also, a bucket costs $10 at least. Obviously you just hate KFC. Don't be so mean. Fast food joints are in to make a profit, yes, but they are not the cause of all the world's ills. People died of breast cancer before fast food ever existed

Crap food. Who wrote this a 16 year old? How does she talk when she's not trying to convince people she's a rational, mature adult?

I applaud KFC. Let's be honest there are those of us that want an excuse to eat some good old original recipe. It's for a great cause.

While I agree with the statement as a whole, at least use some degree of education and write a proper article scumbag

Yeah, the irony of America; as it believes that it will "Save Lives" through the never ending teachings of how to eat crappy food, to everything else to why there are millions of people who are in the stats of dysfuntional lifestyles to health aspects.

Jessica-thats a little too intense. Crap-food? One source of bad,only if you over do it and you had to crap on one of 8 mllion choices we all make everyday.You should not have crapped on this 8 millon dollar donation.

Great, great stuff LauraTort!!!!! There is a brain amongst us.

Obesity has been linked to breast cancer. KFC donate cause they feel guilty, they contribute to the problem. But why would I make myself sick to help find a cure ???

i agree with the author. KFC is just making themselves look so ridiculous....what hypocrites. Maybe they felt a little bad for damaging customer's health so they wanted to repay them in a way. haha yea right. If KFC cared about the health of its patrons it wouldn't be selling what it does.

Don't use the pink ribbon to sell your products. Don't make anyone eat your chicken, buy your cosmetics, wear your clothes, the list of pink ribbon-itis goes on. Women are dying. Just donate the money if you care. Advertise that you're doing it, fine, great.

But stop using breast cancer to sell your products, don't be a pink ribbon pimp.

Well I grew up on a farm and can tell everyone in the peta crowd posting here that chickens are a lot more cruel to each other than kfc is to them They well peck each other to death and canabalize each other if you do not watch them this is the reason why farmers clip chickens beaks a little , and frankly chickens are pretty low on the food chain to begin with , they are dumb by bird standards if they were not being farmed they would go extinct rather quickly in the wild .

oh the irony that KFC launches this just weeks after major research comes out linking fatty foods and obesity to a greater risk of breast cancer. now we can give ourselves cancer while 'fighting' cancer, and the collonel reaps the rewards.

I think it's really stupid to support any cause through purchase of consumer goods. If you're going to buy something, do it because you want to own it or use it, not because it will donate 1% of its profits to something. If you want to support the cause, just donate- that way the charity will get 100% of the money you give.

Jessica needs to take a chill pill. KFC is going to exist, and be delicious, whether we like it or not. And the fact that they are going to donate money is awesome. Why are we always bitching? Why can't we just be happy with small efforts?

I thought this was pretty funny (not ha ha funnt)too; especially since their food is part of the reason breat cancer (and other cancers) are such an issue in this country. Their disgusting farming practices introduce chemicals and hormones into a person's body that are detrimental to his or her health and the dangerous level of fat in their products causes weight gain and disturbs organs responsible for producing hormones and insulin and prevents them from functioning properly. Many cases of cancer are actually caused, at least in part, by obesity. KFC chicken is basically a carcinogen. This is something akin to tobacco companies donating proceeds to lung cancer and liquor distributors donating money to liver related health organizations.

Get a life. I love KFC chicken and I'm not obese, my heart is in great condition and my cholesteral is low. (I'm 60 years old).
I welcome advice on good nutrition, but don't assume the American public is obese because of KFC or McDonalds. People are accountable for their own choices - in nutrition and in life.

I don't drink. I don't smoke. I stay away from as much refined sugar as possible and I try to include plenty of complex carbohydrates in my diet. But when I want to enjoy a bucket of Original Recipe I don't need busy-bodies or nanny states telling me to eat.

All things in moderation. (At least in diet).
