Hi Camille and Jodi,

Thanks so much for sharing your perspectives--this is why constructive comments rather than flaming are so valuable. In reading both of your responses, I agree with you completely, and I appreciate your providing me with your perspectives.

My original goal was to capture readers' attention, in order to draw them to the bigger picture (elitism/lack of food justice), but now that you point it out, it does diminish the topic at hand as well as exploit a larger, much more serious issue.

Please, other readers: with regard to commenting on any site, regardless of topic, there's so much journalists can learn from you and vice versa when even negative feedback is phrased in a non-confrontational, constructive way. I just want to thank these two ladies for helping me to be a better writer, as well as making my day with their insights. Thanks, and look forward to hearing from you in future posts!

Best,
Laurel
