   Re: Cheese in a Tube TV commercial

   Dear Sir/Madam,

   I am writing to complain about the TV commercial for your product Cheese in a Tube. In my opinion, there is some false information in the commercial, and it also encourages children to adopt bad eating habits.

   In the commercial, there is a popular TV cartoon character who says that Cheese in a Tube is ‘the best cheese in the world’. This is obviously not true. However, I have two young children who love the cartoon character in the commercial. So now they believe that your cheese is the best in the world and they don’t want any other kind.

   The cartoon character then says that Cheese in a Tube is ‘good for young kids’. Well, I checked the information on the packet. There certainly isn’t very much cheese in your product – only 5% – and it has more calories and fat than chocolate! It’s probably one of the unhealthiest things you can buy in the supermarket.

   Child obesity is a huge problem in our country. Our children are the fattest and unhealthiest in the world, and products like yours just make things worse.

   Finally, the commercial ends with two beautiful, slim, healthy-looking children sitting in front of the TV. Their mother calls them to come to the kitchen to eat a nutritious salad. The children say they’re watching their favourite cartoon – the same character who is in the commercial, of course – so what does the mother do? She brings each of them some Cheese in a Tube. The parents eat their salad in the kitchen while the children suck their lunch from a tube in front of the TV!

   I believe that it’s good for children and parents to eat together, but obviously your company doesn’t. Please change this terrible commercial. And why don’t you start making healthier food too?

   Yours sincerely,
   Maddy Moore
