...buying and selling stock in a company is business

Your right, it is. But a tiny part of business also comprises of donating to those who cannot help themselves. Why do you think so many businesses "Give Back"? Not all "want" to, they "Need" to. Why do you think Walmart changed the way they did business during the recession when their reputation for not caring about their customers and employees was exploted all over the media? They were losing customers because their business was looked at as "greedy". I'm just happy Eric is helping out before all "expect" him to.

I never once said that it wasn't a good cause or questioned the severity of the situation.

"Knowing" it's a "good cause" is one thing, but "embracing" it is another. If you understood the severity of the situation so well, why the care if a few bottles are handed out without compensation? I'm sure Management isn't overly imploding themselves. They've done a great job thus far. IMO :)

You certainly assume alot, don't you?

Yes.

You don't even know me to imply that I'm selfish just because I pointed out something from a business standpoint.

All I can go by is the posts you make, and the approach in which you make write them. Pretty much what I got from your post was You think it's annoying for Winning Brands to donate a reasonable amount of product, at the shareholders expense, unless it yeilds some type of exposure or compenstation at a later date. So in other words, "don't donate if you can't be sure you can get something in return." That my friend is not a donation, it's a IOU. Re-read your post and you tell me you'd have a different assumption.

...it would annoy me as a shareholder if we were diluting more to pay for it. Now, if it leads to some sort of government contract or a great newspaper/magazine article it would be worth it from a financial standpoint IMO.
