Free food for celebrities isn't intended to help out the celebrity.  It's intended to help out the establishment by attracting these attractive individuals.

Welfare is people taking money from taxpayers, money people have worked hard to earn, to pay their personal expenses.  Free food as part of a promotion from a private company isn't welfare.  Yes, in both cases someone is getting a free meal, but the SOURCE of that free meal is entirely different.  The taxpayer has no choice coughing up the tax money.  The restaurant owner gives away the meal voluntarily for his own benefit.

And the general public benefits from such "charity."  We can frequent restaurants that comp meals to celebs and possibly see or meet these celebs ourselves!  Every dollar a celebrity saves gets spent somewhere else (they know their budgets and spend a certain amount even if some stuff is free, just like your or I do) aiding the general economy even further.

How often have you received free pens or savings on items as part of a company's promotion?  EVERYONE benefits when companys spend money promoting themselves.  It's just good PR.

Quit complaining.  The system works, and just because someone else has something doesn't mean that you can't have it, too.
