America’s favorite cookie is stirring up more than milk today after Kraft Foods posted a gay pride Oreo on the cookie’s Facebook page.
Oreo posted the photoshopped picture of an Oreo cookie stuffed with rainbow-colored layers of frosting Monday evening with the caption “Proudly support love!”
Over the past 17 hours more than 157,000 people have “liked” the image, 40,000 people have shared it and 20,000 have commented on it.
But while many of the comments were supportive, some Facebook users pledged to boycott the cookie because of the post....
Dear Ladies, please, where ever you can, promote Ashkenazic style food for the poor, the unemployed. Just google Jewish Cooking for recipes and distribute to poorer women. Economical. These people knew how to be poor. We use a slow-cooker.
There's gotta be a joke about double stuff in there somewhere. I don't see anything wrong with boycotting a company that doesn't stand for what you believe in. Why support them with your dollars when they are against you? Too bad Sunshine Biscuits doesn't produce Hydrox anymore. I guess I could just buy Tagalongs once a year from the local girl scouts...but then again the girl scouts of america are known supporters of NAFTA and I just can't buy into that.
Okay... Please give me a day or two and I'll post the yummy, healthy cookie recipe on my blog (click on my name and it should link to it) with an opinion piece on the political agenda of the makers of Oreo cookies.
This is "meat sacrificed to idols." I for one don't believe in the idols and am happy to munch cookies, however, for the sake of my weaker brothers (& my waist line) I will forgo this devilish sweet.

Long time traditional view is the rainbow has seven colors, indigo being between blue and violet. But, as might be expected, whether indigo should be held as a color is cause for argument among some.

Well that sounds great. Let me know if you put the ingredients and cooking instructions up on your site, as I'd like to make some ..... well, lots actually. Currently I have to make do with "Nairn's Oat Cakes", which are rather bland and a bit too salty for my health.

Angela you might be mistaken about your website. I just spend several minutes trying to post in under "Anonymous" and after numerous attempts could never get past:
"The characters you entered didn't match the word verification. Please try again."
So, here is the comment I couldn't post because I couldn't get in:
Angela what a fantastic website you have!!!
I just noticed at Sermon Audio your link to your website. Just goes to show that I am not only "Dopey" but also blind.
Sincerely in Christ, your friend Dopey.
2 Peter 3:18
But grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Dear Mrs Wittman, it is too late for that. First it is the antichrist she has for tea, then MMG, whoever next is on her list? I fear she has turned traitor, and her lad refuses to defend The Faith, having turned ecumenist.
But I sure would like the recipe for healthy cookies.

I might be mistaken, but I think Kraft's Rainbow Oreo cookie is a political statement. Here in IL, where I believe Kraft has its headquarters, is a recent homosexual challenge to our marriage laws... I rarely buy Kraft products due to their past support of special homosexual "rights" and will now read the labels on products more carefully to make certain I don't support their political agenda with my money. Besides, I like to cook and making cookies from scratch is the better way to go.
Mike my dear friend. What color is missing in Oreo's rainbow?
P.S.
Mike, I haven't forgotten your second last two word sentence or your last one word sentence ending with a question mark in the Sinner's Prayer Can Lead to Salvation, Say Southern...
Neil, neither have I forgotten your last sentence at: 6/27/12 7:00 PM in this thread.
Hebrews 6:12 KJV
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Hebrews 10:36 KJV
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

Or maybe a popular product causes a seller to depend too much upon it, & becomes a liability later when the market for it contracts, & no alternatives are readily available. Nothing is sure in business, as James 4:13 says plainly: "Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow." Which is why many add, "Lord willing," when they announce plans. Sure we agree on some things, but if 1 Cor. 12:31 was intended to edify me on this subject, it makes no sense to me at all.
Neil my dear friend, again I agree with you:
1. I said we "hoped" to gross more money; that was a "calculated risk".
2. I certainly agree with James 4:13 and you that business men aren't guaranteed to be successful tomorrow. And the verse shows that neither are sinners. For the verse doesn't guarantee all you sinners tomorrow on this planet. "God is love" but He is also a God of incredible destructive judgment. Are all you sinners prepared to meet God tomorrow?----------- ----This one is!!!
