Dear Cooks Illustrated,
I received your November/December issue, along with an envelope advising me that it was my last issue unless I send some money. I ripped off the advertising pages at the front to look at your typically beautiful cover illustration.
Sadly, this month's cover, the one that you should be using to woo me, is a cracked open pomegranate. That's right, the most offensive of all of the seedy fruits. The fruit that started my obsessive-compulsive phobia of food with seeds.
I was on the fence about renewing. Mostly because I love reading your magazine, but I don't actually use it for any of the recipes or information contained therein. I believe your insulting cover choice may have sealed the deal. I cannot patronize you if you are going to send me scary pictures.
It's over,
Danielle
