Just a type of bread until it is consecrated, so it is no big deal. As a Catholic, I'd have to agree...but, that's not to say that it is in very bad taste. Everyone understands the indirect (or dare I say direct?) attempt to demean Catholicism in selling this "new snack food".

In our Polish house, this wafer was a part of the Christmas Eve celebration. If they want to eat them as a snack cracker, more power to them.
Hmmmmm, Oplatek with cheese. Who knew???

As a Catholic I know the difference between a host and a consecrated eucharist. I also know the difference between wine and consecrated wine. Big difference. If someone wants to use an unconsecrated host as snack food, I have no problem with it. Just like I have no problem snacking on any unleavened bread.
