Lance Stinks (And It's Not From Riding Bikes)!!!!

In Dr. Lambiase's Article in the Sunday paper, I gained a lot of insight into Proposition 15, when I really knew nothing of it.
Link:
What really stood out was the fact that Big Tobacco, a known cancer causer, was one of the main contributors to the "live strong" organization. Though I feel bad for Lance Armstrong that he had to endure cancer, I have never enjoyed or particularly agreed with the yellow banded wrists popping up across college campuses and high school gyms across America.

Here's why: this is a man that has not been living well.

Yes he has won the Tour de France a record breaking number of times, but he cheated: he took steroids (by some speculation that has been hushed by now). He had a devoted wife who stood by him through his fight with cancer, and he dropped her like a hot potato as soon as "All I Wanna Do is Have Some Fun!" crooner Sheryl Crow merited him a big enough celebrity to don the yellow band as well. Endorsements from Mr. Armstrong mean nothing to me, and to a lot of other people I imagine too.

Dr. Lambiase is absolutely right: living well is going to help in prevention of future cases more than anything, and the financial backing behind this proposition does not suggest healthy living!!! CIGARETTES KILL MORE PEOPLE EVERY YEAR THAN ALMOST ANYTHING ELSE!!! Yet, this is one of their contributors. Of course they want more research done, so they can get a few more puffs out of these nocotine addicted lung cancer patients.

In Crazy Sexy Cancer, Kris Carr, a level 4 cancer patient, has managed to keep her tumors from growing larger for some time, which is a wonderful accomplishment!

She talks about the value of eating greens and practicing yoga-taking the time every day to get positive and be happy. Wouldn't someone like this have a more powerful message to send? Wouldn't this be more helpful and meaningful for a lot of people? Phillip Morris isn't going to help the cancer cause, but Whole Foods might...I think there are tons of inspirational stories out there from other cancer survivors who live with integrity every day, not just when the cameras are rolling.
Throwing money at a problem never solves a thing, but education never hurts. I hope lots of people read that Sunday article and it made them think.
