> If businesses want to support a charitable cause, why can't they support it? I don't understand how it became normal to mix buying a burger at Mcdonalds with donating to their somewhat shady charity? Coz it is advertising. And it's for-profit company. So they aren't going to donate parts of their profits, they will ask consumers to donate using them and portray themselves as good guys.
