Dear Friends,
I just wrote an email to Lesley Jane Seymour, the Editor-In Chief of MORE, the magazine “for women of style and substance.” You might want to write to her, too.
I was delighted to see that MORE, my favorite magazine, was featuring an article called “Are You a Food Addict?” in its September issue. (See http://www.more.com/are-you-food-addict.)
I was terribly disappointed when I read the following paragraph
“Go to any kind of 12-step meeting, and you’ll hear the same mantra: Don’t pick it up… But when the addiction is to food, you can’t go cold turkey, because, um, you still need to eat.”
I wrote to Lesley and let her know that nothing could be further from the truth!
Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous, known as FA, is an effective 12-step program that is especially popular among women of the same age as women who read MORE Magazine.
I suggested that MORE feature an article on the Recovery that women my age are finding in 12-step programs, especially the Recovery program of FA.
For more information about FA, go to www.foodaddicts.org.
Write to the editor of MORE at lesley@more.com.
Let’s change the things we can.
Thank you, all.
And thanks to Dana for the photos!
Love & Light,
Valerie
Do you have a copy of the letter we could read?
Hi Mom,
Here’s what I wrote to Lesley Jane Seymour.

You can find out more about FA via its website at http://www.foodaddicts.org.
There are many women and men who would be glad to share their FA experience, and their strength and hope. Please reach out to the organization and make a connection. You would be doing a great service.
Thank you.”
Sweet Pea, those are not my onions or sifter ( tho I have one like it) but belong to an Eastporter named Barbara. All the pics I sent you are from “kitchen ” gardens around town. Sadly, none of them mine, as my very tree graced yard has not much light. 🙂 and I gave up gardening years ago.
Love,
d.
Hi Dana,
Thanks for the clarification. I love the term “kitchen garden”. I hope you approve of the corrected caption.
Love & Light,
Valerie
