Make your spam e-mail work for someone

[XL-entLady]

Time Magazine's NewsFeed reports:

"Is Chipotle healthy or not? While NewsFeed would say 'definitely not,' the burrito franchise is working hard to establish its good-for-you bonafides. To that end, the company wants you to forward them your spam e-mails -- for charity!
...For every 100,000 emails received, the company will donate $10,000* to The Lunch Box, a nonprofit that helps schools implement healthy lunches."

[This is Lady speaking now]
*To a maximum of $50,000

I've doublechecked the story and it seems to be genuine. You're not going to get put on any lists and they're not going to keep your address. It's simply another advertising hook. But I know The Lunch Box and I think it's a great cause. FWIW. YMMV.
