Protest against bad chinese food and FX show Starved

Last night left a little to be desired. Got home from work and found a menu for a Chinese restaurant that claims to be listed as the Best Chinese Restaurant in Round Rock. So we decide to order. Place our order at 6:30PM and was told that it would be 45 mintues to an hour wait. That was fine so we had some snacks to tide us over. We still did not have our food by 7:45PM so we called. They informed us that the food was sent out and the delivery guy should be there soon. We finally get our food at 8:30PM and it was delivered by a guy that used to work there but since they were short staffed he was called in. That is not reassuring. Get into the food to find that they were missing my Sweet & Sour sauce for the Sweet & Sour Shrimp. Really not good when that is the main part of the meal!! The rest of the food was cold, hard or just disgusting.

We called to complain and ask them to remove the charges as we were dissatisfied with the whole experience. The "Manager" did not even sound 16 years of age and was really rude to E. We contacted the credit card company to stop the charges and they are going to keep a close eye on it.

I would personally like to meet the writer of the Round Rock newspapaer that claimed that they were the best and give them the crap we had last night. A different tune would be sung.

And one last thing. Got an e-mail from The Natioanl Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) in regards to the new show on FX called Starved. I am a Media Watchdog for NEDA and am alerted if there is a show or ad that it truly disturbing in regards to Eating Disorders. I took the time to watch this show and was completely appalled. In the first episode it taught 3 new ways that I was unaware of to dispose of food or purge it. And in last nights episode I saw another 2 ways. I am sickened and appalled that this was happening. I am in fear that if someone is watching this show that is currently dealing with an Eating Disorder it will feed into what to do next and can be potentially fatal for a person.

Please help to stop this show from continuing to show ways to become Anorexic, Bulimic, Compulsive Overeater or any of the other Eating Disorders that are out there. Go to www.nationaleatingdisorders.org and click on to protest against Starved!!!

I feel like such a hippie chick!!
