dammit I am so irritated, I just got off the phone with my 11 y/o daughters school nurse and during the conversation I asked if my dtr was eating well at lunch (we just went back to eating vegan a month ago) because I've been sending her lunches and wanted to make sure she was eating what I sent. She said she noticed Kate had lost a bit of weight (which is good because she was a bit overweight and we've been struggling with this for a while) and that she noticed I'd lost quite a bit (I lost 30lbs but I'm counting calories my daughter is not) and when i told her that we went vegan she proceded to lecture me about protein and calcium and such. I reminded her that cold pizza and pop tarts are a regular breakfast at this school and while I don't think a well balanced vegan diet could quite measure up to this standard I'm sure we're doing just fine. GGGGRRRRRRRR I also asked her if she was aware that a serving of broccoli has more calcium than a glass of skim milk? she was not. Anyway it really shouldn't bother me considering this is also the same school that sent me a letter stating that my son who is 5 and 3 ft 7inches tall and ways 49 lbs is OVERWEIGHT!!!???? I don't mean to spew but DAMMN its frustrating.
