Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Add another product to the list of things that have going pink in support of breast cancer awareness. This special edition set of Mundial knives is a ten piece set and includes seven knives, a carving fork, kitchen shears and the wood block holder to keep everything organized. One of the included knives is a granton edge santoku knife, one of the most popular models available, and this is the first Mundial set to include it.
Even though the set was created in honor of the company's partnership with the National Breast Cancer Foundation, the charmingly feminine pink color of the set should make it appealing to many for purely aesthetic reasons. In other words, whether you intend to support the cause or not, a girly set of kitchen knives is a nice change from the basic black of most manufacturers.

How about we *demand* that our government meets the health needs of all the citizens that pay taxes to support it?
This is *marketing* targeted at people who are willing to accept a piecemeal approach to public health or who can feel better about it because their knives/pots/soup cans are pink.

Rainey, if you want socialism move to a different country. This is the U.S. “Socialism free since 1776!”

I'm sure you meant to say "I don't like it when people have different opinions, and I should probably move to a country that supports my ideals and mine only instead of continuing to live in the USA.", but somehow, it still came out sounding like someone else is the problem.
Also, what is the US? The Internet, Slashfood? Whoa. Have some comfort food, enjoy the day.

10-11-2006 @6:02PM Peter said... rainey is correct. The problem with these type of things is that it makes people feel like they have done their part. I bought a knife, wore a ribbon, etc... There are so many of these things now they have little "awareness" value.
If you really want to do something useful send money to an organization, volunteer, educate people about testing and early detection. Those things save lives, wearing a ribbon or using a pink knife does not.

To access these three articles, please go to the links on the left side of my site, and look under “articles of importance."
1)"Welcome to Cancerland: A Mammogram Leads to a Cult of Pink Kitsch," by Barbara Ehrenreich. A classic.
2)"Chemo Concession" (contains some surprising information about the chemotherapy industry)
3) “Vaccine Against Cancer,” about a really interesting cancer treatment being used by a doctor in Germany.
All three articles will give you another perspective on the “think pink” phenomenon. I hope you will find them informative. Thanks very much for giving them a look!
Sincerely,
Julia Schopick
