hello, please take a minute to read the whole letter.

First of all I'd like to thank Mattel for making toys. I had Mattel toys when I was young and I really enjoyed them. Also I'd like to thank Mattel for the Mattel donation program and the children's foundation.

Second, I'd like to point the following out. What kids see often, makes them think it's normal right? We all know the barbie dolls are popular world wide. And I'm not saying that they are the number one factor of young girls starving themselves. I myself starved my body for more than a year, but am gradually getting better, thanks to my parents, and logical thinking.
But the dolls surely must have an effect. Barbie girls become alive when you're playing with them. In the attachment you'll find a picture of 4 girls. The first one is a cartoon barbie located at barbie.com. the second one is Mattel's top model barbie doll. the third and fourth one are pictures of Ana Carolina Reston. She died last year of anorexia. I'd like to point out that Barbie is thinner than this 21 year old anorexic model was.

It doesn't really make sense to have a children's foundation, but as well produce one of the most popular toys; a dead, super-anorexic barbie doll. If Barbie was as much alive as she is in the games of children she'd have ruined organs, she would not have periods, and probably not fit most of the clothing you can buy at the mall.
thank you for your time,
Silja
