A church was selling baked goods in these bags at our town's voting station yesterday. How is this ok? I think they get to do it on a technicality because it was outside the cordoned-off voting area in the high school gym. I vaguely remember being appalled four years ago about the same thing. As we left the building my son, who is 9 and wanted to eat the brownie we had just purchased, said, "I am being tormented by this 'Smile, Jesus loves you' bag!" (He has a firm grasp of the use of sarcasm already.)

Permalink Reply by Diane on November 8, 2012 at 6:20am The Lord is my baker: I shall not want.
He maketh me to enjoy chewy, chocolately goodness.
He leadeth me beside the bake sale table.
He restoreth my blood sugar level.
He leadeth me in the paths of starchiness for no good reason at all.
Yea, though I waddle through the valley of the shadow of sugar overload,
I will fear no indigestion; for Thou are stuck on the roof of my mouth.
Thy nuts and thy chocolate chips. they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of nutritionists;
Thou anointest my breast with crumbs; my cups runneth over.
Surely goodness and a salty-sweet aftertaste shall follow me the rest of the day,
And I will rest in a sugar high for about 45 minutes.
Amen.
