The message has been sent to Trussell Trust. I thought it best not to mention Jack by name. I pointed out that a person with close links to them is advocating a £20 shop for 2 adults and one child for a week. Gave them enough information for them to be sure of who I am referring to, but said that if they wanted me to be explicit I would do so.
I went into detail about my experiences of poverty and of my voluntary work with local charities. I also mentioned how this undermined the good work that they, and our, charities are doing to raise awareness. I asked them to use their Nationwide profile to publicly refute this and to investigate the dangerously low nutritional values of the meals that are being advocated.
I suggested they might not wish to name this person but that they could give out more general information that opposes and disputes this dangerous and misleading message. I also suggested they should distance themselves from someone advocating such alarming, unhealthy, and unsafe very low-calorie meals devoid of nutritional value.
I wrote a bit more, but that is the gist of it. I will let you know their response.

Name something she had posted that isn't an abomination.
Thread title: jack monroe. Please shut up!
I think we should do a lime Goss which sets out the timeline of tin rattling and Sleeper to Edinburgh incidents
And a nutritional breakdown/calorie count on some meals
Just the facts - no in jokes (no Alan gifs - I know!)
You know I say “we” due to me not being arsed to actually do it myself and hoping some other Frau might

The thing is. There’s no way she’s just consuming 20 quid a weeks worth of food. She’s had gifted cheese and asparagus.
She’s got her stock cupboards. Some people just now probably don’t have 20 quid a week to spend on food. There are businesses near me just now giving out food parcels for families.
She’s not the yardstick anyone should be using to measure their weekly shop against. I mean I get that she’s in an expensive area but if she’s spending a grand plus a month to live in her bungalow and she doesn’t have much left over for food the sensible thing would be to downsize.

I'm just glad no actually needs her in a crisis I mean can you imagine.
Person : help quick I need help.
Her: I will be right over just as soon as I have tweeted about old fashioned soap, had a nap, turned some ingredients into something else and asked for people to send me doggie"
Narrator: 12 hours later
Her: hello I am here, see it didn't take long? Hello, hello friend? Where did she go? I said I would be right over

No lockdown larder today. She got fed up with having to ask all the questions!
twit.
Parmentier potatoes.
Greek mezze.
1st sentence: "Peel and roughly chop your garlic".
3rd sentence: "Peel the garlic cloves and add them whole."

So the post office 'asked you not to' because you presumably had simply TOO much to post but now you..... don't? So either they never asked you not to or suddenly you have less to post.
I'm guessing your Patreons are waiting on quite a lot so......bollocks proven. Total A grade bollocks.

Think he was just looking for parents who have cooked with their kids, to be honest, love.
Why would they ask her not to do drop n go when the clue is literally in the name...it's drop n go...not queue up and spend an age having to manually put postage on individual packages. We begged our buisness customers to use the drop n go service...so that they could drop and go 
I had to do a double-take because I thought it was my doggo.
But then remembered I took his phone off him after the 'porn incident'..
(Only the first sentence of that is true)
It’s just occurred to me how ludicrous it is that she pretends to use lard as a butter substitute, because I’M SO POOR.
I guess pov cosplay trumps pescatarian cosplay? She usually pretends that only SB eats pork products, but as soon as she remembers how POOR she is, she’s merrily spreading pork fat on her toast? Jeeeeesus.
Has it crossed her mind that a post office which is understaffed MIGHT NOT WANT people using their queue as a ~moment of quiet~ in their busy (lol) lives and would actually prefer it if you used some sort of click and drop alternative? What am I talking about, of course it hasn't!
ETA what @ChickenPorridge said!
A guilty conscience will have you tapping the block button it seems
