Complaint to Eating Well

A letter that I sent (through email) to the editors of Eating Well Magazine.

Eating Well-

As much as I enjoyed reading this October's issue of EatingWell, I was left with a sour taste in my mouth after reading "The E-Mail Home."

Your writer must have intended for this to be a humorous piece poking fun at parents and their eating habits, but I believe it portrayed parents (and grandparents for that matter) as being completely oblivious as to what they are consuming. Next time, I suggest you spend your time writing about something intended to be humorous, but don't poke fun at parents - they do the best they can to raise us to be healthy, smart and as aware as possible while tailoring to our every needs. They sacrifice a lot for our well being.

I can't wait to arrive home from school and eat a wonderfully nutritious meal thoughtfully made by my parents. Perhaps I'll get a stomach ache from eating too many greens. How ironic would that be?

I guess you really had to read the piece to understand my complaint letter. Oh well...
