I would have never guessed that about the Autism Speaks site, but then again I've never visited it.
I buy the food I like, preferably on sale, and I don't worry about whether they give a penny to breast cancer research, Feeding America or any other cause. I even wonder about those canisters they keep near cash registers for muscular dystrophy or whatever.
At least once a week I see something go around on Facebook asking people to repost regarding the latest cause. I'm thinking of making a spoof one for April 1. Especially suspicious are the ones about someone asking for prayers for a child in a coma, a homeless family, etc. Most people think their FB friend knows the person in question when in fact their friend doesn't know them at all. It's a hoax.
Why would anyone repost something about a person they don't know, without even checking to see if their friend REALLY KNOWS them?
