Newsweek provides us this quote:
“I just don’t think that you should eat anything that’s Jesus. It’s OK to eat the cross as long as God is not on it.”A chocolate statue of Jesus? It just doesn't sound like a good idea to me. For one thing, where would you start eating? To bite the head off a chocolate bunny and come back to finish him later is no big deal, but doing that to our Lord's image would be a sort of profanation.
--Liz Samuel, a supervisor at the Gertrude Hawk Chocolates store in Langhorne, Pa., on the store’s selling chocolate statues of Jesus
For convenience, you might press our Lord's image into a chocolate coin so that you could receive it whole and entire -- that would go over better. If you wanted, you could even put Caesar on one side and Christ on the other.
eje asks: "If they made a statue of John the Baptist, would it be appropriate to eat the head first?"
Now, he'd be bittersweet.
