Sometime ago, I read somewhere that young children were being kept as slaves to work on cocoa farms harvesting the plants from which chocolate is derived. It bothered me a little until I remembered that God cares about slaves and gives careful instruction in His Word on how they are to be treated. He always advises the slaves to be obediant to their masters.
So, seeing as how slavery is not expressly condemned in the Bible, I am now only worried about the precise conditions of slavery on the cocoa farms. Because if the slaves aren't being obediant, that would not make God happy.
Now, I know that this seems a little "off-topic" regarding Cadbury Creme Eggs. But it is important to not only consider the symbolism of the eggs, but whether or not the ingredients for the candy are being produced under a system that is pleasing in God's eyes.
God is the center of all things and He is to be the center of our hearts. He certainly should be the center of our creme-filled candies, don't you think?
