I have read Free Republic for years and I am amazed at the self-righteousness of some of you. If you don't like Pampered Chef, I assure you, you are in the minority. But, you, just like Warren Buffet are entitled to your opinions and entitled to spend your own money on anything you like. Are you going to burn your house down because it was made with Acme Brick, also a BH company? I doubt it. All of these post and articles also forgot to mention Justin Boots. Probably because alot of you are wearing them as we speak and would never throw them away because they are the best boots made.

I have been with The Pampered Chef for 9 wonderful years. I tell people all the time what a gift from God my job with Pampered has been. I am a born again, pro life Christian on my way to a Vacation Bible School meeting this afternoon. I teach Sunday School and a class for 5 year olds on Wednesday. I do all of this because of my love for the Lord and for children. But on Tuesday and Thursday of most weeks, I am showing people how to make quick easy meals using the best kitchen tools on the market today. I show them that even the busiest families can sit down together to a meal and still have time for ball games and all the other things that take up our our precious time. I spread the family meal time message to thousands of people a year and I am proud of the products I sell and of the company for which I sell them. None of these articles or post have mentioned all the good Pampered Chef does. Do any of you know that we are the largest cash contributor to the Second Harvest Food Bank? Do any of you know that we have contributed millions to the American Cancer Society for the prevention of breast cancer? Do any of you know that the Christopher's personally donated over $15 Million to a Christian college in Chicago that is dedicated to educating Christian school teachers and to the Family Resiliency program at the University of Illinois? This is not to mention the money that is given every single week in tithes to churches all over the country from other Christian Chefs.

My point is that unless you are willing to research the charitable giving of every single place you do business. Your doctor, your gas station, your grocery store etc.... and would be willing to give them up if you don't agree with what they do with their personal wealth, DON'T BASH THE PAMPERED CHEF!!! You will not agree TOTALLY with any of them and that is your opinion and your right. I am not saying those VERY FEW that have quit their Pampered Chef jobs are wrong. Again, they are entitled to do what they think is right and form their own opinion. I also applaud the efforts of those trying to get the Buffet Foundation to change it's giving practices. As for me, I will be with the Pampered Chef for the next 25 years and will focus on all the good things my company, my personal business practices and my personal donations will do. As for you PC bashers, I am sure I won't be hearing from you as you will no longer use your PC since it was probably bought from HP or Microsoft and they also support Planned Parenthood.

By the way, my sister and I both sell PC and between us have done almost 2,000 shows and have thousands of customers. Neither of us have not lost a single show or had one single customer even mention Berkshire Hathaway. And I live in the buckle of the bible belt! So for those of you salivating over the impending demise of Pampered Chef, you may have to wait for quite a while. But, like a previous post mentioned: God is in control of everything and you never know what the future holds. Have a nice day everyone!
