http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/cancer-barbie-backers-seeking-bald-doll-sick-kids-terms-hair-loss-article-1.1005391?localLinksEnabled=falseTheir Facebook page for the “Beautiful and Bald Barbie†campaign had won about 50,000 fans by Thursday — more “likes†than Mattel’s corporate page.
New Jersey photographer Jane Bingham helped kick it off in December after reading about a 4-year-old Long Island girl who received a one-of-a-kind hairless Barbie from Mattel.
Bingham, 41, lost her own hair while fighting non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma last year and noticed her 9-year-old, Belleliana, had a tough time with it.
“She would imitate me, putting scarves on her head,†said Bingham, who lives in Sewell, N.J. “I’d really love to see this Barbie come with some scarves, maybe a hat and maybe a wig, to make it interactive.â€

This is what's wrong with the "fight against cancer". Instead of asking why, people just want to race for the cure, wear colorful wristbands, and play with barbies. Nobody wants to ask why the U.S. has the highest breast cancer rate, and growing, or why cancer is up 3,000% in the last few decades, or why death by cancer is expected to double in the next twenty years, or why cancer rates are so much higher in the developed world than they are in the undeveloped world (in Africa: 88 per 100,000 get cancer; in North America and Western Europe: 334 and 335 per 100,000, respectively).
Nobody wants to ask why. Instead, they just want to create a trendy cancer culture with races for the cure, colorful wristbands, and bald barbies. It's all about making death and disease trendy and sexy. It's disgusting. If people would just put a little bit of effort into studying why people get cancer, they would realize that there is a cure; cancer is not inevitable as they trendy cancer culture would have you believe. All you have to do is eat right. Yes! It's that simple. Eat correctly! Eat organic food. Buy your food raw, in it's most basic and natural form, and cook it yourself. Don't eat processed food. Don't eat food with preservatives and additives. Don't eat fast food. Don't drink soda. Those are the things that cause the most common cancers we have today. It's stupid to smoke because it causes lung cancer, right? We know that now. Well, if people would do a little research, they'd see it's just as stupid to eat processed food loaded with harmful chemicals and GMO.
But, no, the truth is swept under the rug so the cancer industry can profit off the culture they created. Don't you think it's a little odd that all of these "race for the cure" events are sponsored by places like McDonald's; the very places that cause the diseases? The fight is not against cancer, people. The fight is against the food industry. We should be demanding that organic, pure, untainted food be made more readily available and more affordable. Don't allow McDonald's to sponsor cancer awareness events, but get companies that make only organic food. The reason people eat the food that causes cancer and other diseases like diabetes is because it's cheap, it's everywhere and easy to get, and it's marketed at us. If you really want to stop cancer, start demanding that organic food be cheaper and readily available. Demand it at your supermarkets. Why do rich neighborhoods have huge organic food sections in their supermarkets, but you'd be hard-pressed to find any organic food in a supermarket in a poor neighborhood? This is wrong. It needs to change. If you don't want cancer, change the way you eat. It's as simple as that.

I've given you the truth. You can choose to accept it or choose to be brainwashed by the trendy cancer culture you're being fed through a feeding tube.

Because it's expensive to produce.
Many people are asking the questions that you claim "no one is asking".
