Letter: A comforting eclair

Sir: I note ('Think thin and eat anything you like', 22 September) that 'people who are naturally thin don't ever eat to comfort themselves'. Very interesting, I thought, as I ate my chocolate eclair, bought solely as a comfort.

As someone who has always been naturally thin, I want to say the eclair was a great comfort to me and made me feel a lot better.

Yours sincerely,
