According to an NPR report, pie is the new cupcake! It seems that a pie craze has descended upon our country. Pie bars and diners are all the rage, dismantling the lengthy reign of the cupcake. Is this good news? Should we mourn the passing of the cupcake?

In this ounce of Persuasion fast chat, Erin Straza and Hannah Anderson have their first fight over which dessert is best and share a few confessions about pie making as a measure of womanhood. Listen in to this quick take on how pie may be our last hope for national unity, and then continue the conversation on Twitter @PersuasionCAPC or in the CAPC members-only community on Facebook. Be sure to answer our questions of the day: Are you #teampie or #teamcupcake? What kind of pie best represent you?
