Oh, you forgot one - Nu Skin’s Controversial Bid to Feed the Hungry

Nu Skin has surely saved many children from hunger. But Nourish the Children’s food costs more than 10 times that of typical food-aid products, with much of the difference going into the pockets of the company and its sales force.

But make no mistake: Nourish the Children is not a charity. It’s a business for Nu Skin and distributors, who are paid commissions and get credit toward their overall sales quotas for their VitaMeal sales. They also get a nonprofit’s charitable-donation tax receipt for any VitaMeal purchases they donate to others.
