I was browsing a new set of Sutta translations by a renowned translator, and happened to read the publisher wrote a special acknowledgement towards a certain charitable foundation that was established by a major corporation for the benefit of children; even though this corporation arguably produces & sell certain products that not only can harm children when consumed in excess but also generates craving in both children & adults. I found it ironic that a charitable foundation established upon financial profits from craving would be the primary sponsor of Sutta translations specifically on the subject of the cessation of craving.
Do any Pali suttas refer to unwholesome gift benefactors; from which proposed charitable gifts should ideally be declined?
