Oh no, I just looked it up and learned that I get my multi-thousand dollar per month medication for free thanks to a program sponsored by Nestle. I feel dirty. But I also need my medication.

Look at it differently, you're taking advantage of Nestlé. They're trying to make themselves look better with the program and adding one more person to their list of "who we've helped" won't really have any impact on their attempt to sanitize themselves or their taxes. It will, however, have a big impact on you.

Just don't start telling everyone that nestle is paying for your meds. That would be helping them with their image.

You know, your comment was very helpful.

I know that all of these megacorps sponsor all sorts of philanthropic causes for PR and tax purposes. But I also know how evil Nestle is and I don't find it difficult to not buy their products. ...until I just looked up who's paying for my meds.

But thank you, you are right. I'm using up their money and giving them nothing back.

Lots of people only ever get the chance to say "Fuck Nestle." But you? You get to live the dream!
