Well, it's the end of an era! Cadbury's being taken over by Kraft, who if my memory serves me right are makers of horrible processed cheese. The original Cadbury family were Quakers, and they not only supplied jobs in the factory, but houses for their workers to live in. It truly was a family united around chocolate, and indeed Christian values.
Today of course the love of money is the god of the age. As the Beatles sang in the sixties, " give me money, that's what I want." "Greed is good" said Gordon Gecko as the fictional wizz kid in a film a few years ago. The Apostle Paul said, "the love of money is the root of many evils," I think I know which of those is best to follow.
We live in an age where people are not valued, just seen as an object to be used. We are just 'consumers,' with no time to stop and look at God's world and the wonder of His creation.
Must finish on an upbeat word! We will still be able to buy CADBURYS chocolate!
