Sure, you can look at it that way if all you are going to do is grow the stache and do nothing else. Much like slapping a pink ribbon on something.
But the real point of the stache is to have people notice you are growing it, so they can ask you about it, so that you can then explain the whole Movember thing, then solicit them for a donation. That last part really is the key. If you aren't soliciting, you're missing the point.
@Mortal there is one thing you don't get: GENES. I've known some people who were healthy as shit, exercising and eating raw organic foods yet they got cancer.
I'm all for educating people. Don't get me wrong. It helps a lot, especially for weight loss which helps lower the risk for a lot of diseases. But dude when it comes to cancer, it's so much more complicated than that! Cancer has a lot to do with your genetic background and frankly you could eat broccoli and cauliflower 3 times a day, if it runs in your immediate family, you most likely will get it in your old days (ok if you eat healthy you might delay it for a few years, at best!)
But hold on... what makes you think that some of this money won't go towards educating people anyways?
Anyhow... I do this out of respect for people close to me who got cancer (any type of cancer). Even if I'm not sure how all this money will be spent, who gives a fuck? What matters is that I'm supporting the cause.

More importantly, I am going to get my prostate checked DAILY for now on.

@Instrumentalist - I didn't say anything about veganism. You can't deny the fact diet and lifestyle plays the biggest role though.
@avatar33 - Yes, I do get genes, but genes are not the main cause. Don't make me dig up stats they're not hard to find though. And I don't really follow your you don't care where the money goes as long as you're supporting a cause...if that money goes towards a new drug that kills 1 in 3 people instead of curing them, what good is that?
Sorry this stuff just frustrates me :/

While I agree that lifestyle and eating go a long way, I think you go a little overboard. You're literally blaming the victim.
Avatar33 is right Genes are huge and most likely the main cause. Diet/lifestyle is just the catalyst.
