Pampered Chef update:
Back in May I blogged about how Pampered Chef had been bought by Berkshire Hathaway, a major corporate donor to Planned Parenthood.
I am pleased to report that, due to protests from Pampered Chef staff and customers, Berkshire Hathaway has dropped support for PP!
Here's BH's news release (requires Adobe Acrobat). This article also discusses BH's decision (and the petulance with which it was announced.)
Before the wedding, my sister invited me to come with her and the bridesmaids to get our nails done. While we were at the salon, the topic of Pampered Chef products came up (I think in the context of bridal shower presents.) As the manicurist started on my nails, she mentioned, "I like Pampered Chef products, but I heard they got bought out by a company that supports abortion! Isn't that awful? I don't think I could buy anything from them any more!"
It was soooooooo refreshing to be in a place where your manicurist could assume that you, too, thought that supporting abortion was a terrible thing to do.
