That this woman is a huge bitch:

Q. Clean Food Army!: My daughter Bella has a great playgroup that meets once a week after school. We were REALLY lucky to get into this group. The girls come from some of the wealthiest families at the school, and since our family is more working class, we love that Bella is able to see how the other side lives and maybe even look for something to aspire to one day. So far Bella has had so much fun with all the girls. But last week I got a nasty email from one of the mothers. I sent some homemade cookies and store-bought veggies and dip for the snack last week, and apparently this was not up to snuff! The mothers said that my vegetables were clearly not homegrown and organic and that they could taste the pesticides and preservatives on them. They asked if I knew that ranch dip is high in cholesterol and saturated fat which leads to heart disease. I was in tears reading this email. Their assumption that I had no idea how to feed my daughter was so insulting. I emailed them back saying that I was unsure what particular brands of veggies, dip, and baking items to buy, and received another email suggesting I start a garden. Prudie, we live in an apartment complex. I am unsure how to respond. I really, really want my daughter to be happy and have friends with the right values and aspirations. But I have no idea how to make these women happy. I went to the farmers market an hour away last weekend to look for some appropriate items to send for next week, but the market was so expensive. I don't want my daughter to get kicked out of this playgroup, especially now that she's so happy. How can I handle these clean-food moms?

A: These moms should register themselves with the FDA—just think, they have a bionic ability to detect chemicals at parts per billion! If you want to have your daughter hang out with friends with the right values, you should consider finding another playgroup. You simply want your daughter to get along with nice friends, so please stop injecting your own social anxiety into what should be a carefree time. The other mothers have demonstrated that their values include insults and superiority. Ignore their jibes and skip the farmers market—carrots are carrots. And if your vegetables aren't good enough for them, their group isn't good enough for you.

Which woman is the bitch? The one who wants her child to hang with the rich/right values folks? Or the cunty moms who allegedly tasted pesticides.

I vote they all suck.

Well I meant the ones who said the food wasn't good enough. But "I want Bella to hang with rich girls" isn't a whole lot better.

Yeah, people realized Prudie is a middle aged male who writes the column in his basement and have stopped writing him letters, so he's making shit up. That's my vote.

The fact that the OP still wants to make these rich bitches happy instead of telling them to fuck an organic squash, is almost as annoying as the rich bitches themselves. :S

Seriously. I can't imagine someone honestly sent that email.

I keep saying that Prudie is just a collection of made up subjects!

SEE! Validation!

I almost posted this here yesterday because I suspected it was a GBCNer making shiit up to see if it would get published.
