Curtis sent a message to Kendall J. Powell – Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of General Mills – Email Address that said:
It's most unfortunate that your Progresso Soups division has noticeably been fiscally compromised over the past few years as evidenced by the deterioration of their products. I first went on-line just to see if anyone else noticed the changes to the clam chowder (little taste, fewer clams). This observation was made by many, and also applied to the other soups. I assume you're smiling in all your photos because of yet another increase in your annual compensation package; it can't be because you'd just had a cup of your clam chowder, which is reminiscent of warm, white latex paint, with a couple pieces of old gum erasers thrown in. An old relative of mine, Mr. Washburn (originally from Maine) would be appalled. Sincerely, Curtis
