Making a killing with a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• The second editions of the Cancer Atlas and the Tobacco Atlas predict tobacco may ultimately kill 1 billion people this century. Published by a group of organizations including the American Cancer Society, the two atlases were released on Monday. A World Health Organization senior policy adviser said, “We know with cancer, if we take action now, we can save 2 million lives a year by 2020 and 6.5 million by 2040.” Not if Big Tobacco has anything to say about it.
• Mickey D’s announced plans to introduce a new chicken wrap product. Seems like the Golden Arches has been launching a lot of items lately — nearly everything except new burgers. Hmmm… There’s a global obesity epidemic, and Mickey D’s continues to boast about billions served. Wonder how fast food stacks up against tobacco as a killer product.
