Niteowl, there is nothing stupid about the cause. You really have your priorities messed up if you think raising money and awareness for prostate cancer is a stupid cause.
Here's what Movember is actually about, told by the guy who started it: http://www.ted.com/talks/adam_garone_healthier_men_one_moustache_at_a_time.html

That is something I can get behind when it comes to not shaving.
Before this I was unaware.

Changing your diet will do more to curb prostate cancer than not shaving

People donate money to charities in support of you not shaving, much like a run/walk. It's not just abstaining from shaving. Research before you comment, otherwise you look not so bright.

It's still a useless gesture that does nothing to prevent anyone from getting cancer.

this is absolutely ridiculous, without donations, and research there would be zero cancer treatments. It would have a 100% mortality rate.
There is no sure way to prevent cancer, and there never will be without research. Your claims are ridiculous.

You need to look in to some of the natural remedies that have been proven to cure cancer, like the Rick Simpson oil.
Cannabis has been known to cure cancer since the 70's but the big pharma companies smear any evidence proving this fact.
Proper diet will prevent virtually all cancers.
Look at any of the indigenous tribal peoples of the earth.
cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis none of our diseases are seen there.
Why?
They don't eat a meat based diet.

Unfortunately, our society is not like those tribes and many people do not understand the first part to living/eating a healthy life style.
Regardless, you can be in tip top shape and still get cancer, it is something almost inevitable.
Which is why there is so much research into it, with research comes the need for funds. Funds come in from donations, donations come in from awareness programs.
Its pretty messed up to say awareness programs are fuckin bogus crocks of shit.

Being in shape and eating a healthy diet are not the same thing at all
If your eating a low meat / high raw vegetable diet
your chances of getting cancer are virtually zero

WHat are you talking about?
Being in shape = generally physically healthy as long as you eat the right diet.
Virtually zero? Why do you think kids who havent even had a chance to ruin their diet, end up with cancer?

Ask anyone who claims to be 'healthy' and you're gonna find a lot of unhealthy people. A lot of smokers and fast food eaters consider themselves 'healthy'
Healthy has been given a definition that doesn't include proper nutrition
Healthy in today's lingo means your ability to do physical labor for extended periods of time.
Not an actual honest definition of true health.
If you honestly wanted to stop the spread of cancer, a better education on what being healthy means would go much farther than some gimmick that just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside, while not doing shit to prevent said illness in yourself or anyone else.

Look at the diet/lifestyle of the parents (mainly the mother) that gave birth to said ill child for your reasons for their illness.
Healthy people do not bear unhealthy offspring.

But the money doesn't really go into helping to stop the "spread of cancer." You can't spread cancer.
It goes to funding researching treatments - like using cannabis for example.
