Her actions are commendable. However, we have no control over what merchants do with the money that we give them in exchange for their products and services. We are not morally responsible for what they do with their money, they are. Her actions are meritorious but not necessary.

I have admiration for those who are quitting Pampered Chef on principle, that is a choice that they are making that is glorious. But I will remind those who are demanding this type of action to listen to the words of Paul the Apostle:

Rom 14:1-8

1 Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters.
2 One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.
3 The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him.
4 Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5 One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.
6 He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.
7 For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone.
8 If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

We are not to judge each other on matters of personal faith. Paul is clear on this that there are matters of faith that are not clear and each person must determine between them and God what is right. And once they have determined that, they are not to condemn others who have determined differently. Christians are not to behave this way, this behavior drives those that need Christ away from Christ and his Church.

The voice of reason : )

Personally, I've never heard of the Pampered Chef. In my kitchen, the old Presto pressure cooker rules. Bon appetit!
