In 2012, it is hard to find a philanthrocapitalist campaign that does not trade in the language of “health.” Sometimes the health cause is defined specifically, as with Bono's RED initiative designed to provide antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) for people living with HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa (Richey and Ponte ), and sometimes the cause is defined vaguely, as in the “Healthy Communities Program” operated by the World Cocoa Foundation, an industry group for cocoa growers. Regardless of how health is mobilized, it is assumed to be an unambiguous and universal good, hence its appeal to corporations, mega-rich donors, and their nonprofit and governmental partners. But as Jonathan M. Metzl writes in an essay titled “Why Against Health?,” “‘health’ is a term replete with value judgments, hierarchies, and blind assumptions that speak as much about power and privilege as they do about wellbeing. Health is a desired state, but it is also a prescribed state and an ideological position” (Metzl :2). Health must therefore be treated with caution and the political, economic, and social agendas to which it becomes harnessed carefully scrutinized
