Last night my wife and I were finishing up the last of an Edward's dessert pie left over from the weekend. On the bottom of the pan we were surprised to discover a Bible verse from Proverbs stamped into the metal along with the statement that this is an Edwards "Personality Pan." It seems that Edwards, an Atlanta based company, has been putting Bible verses and other inspirational statements on selected cartons and pie pans for some time. This brings up a number of thoughts. What if the messages were from a religion other then Christianity? What if they were political, racial, or pro/anti abortion? What if they were borderline obscene? How would I feel? Would I only buy pie's that had messages I agreed with? It's all about freedom of speech, right? But do I have to start checking my desserts for some hidden agenda?
