That poor kid was allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, dairy, and soy.<BR/><BR/>I will say, they also had a sign on the door to the room about people having dog allergies and not bringing those in. I can't imagine why anyone would bring a dog into the school, but if it makes Amanda feel better, so be it.<BR/><BR/>And keep in mind, Manders - this is Ann Arbor you're in. They may well feed the kids rice and beans. And organic vegetables. And probably something REALLY healthy like kombu or kudzu or whichever one is the seaweed and not the invasive plant...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14668654.post-1170005429438170442007-01-28T12:30:00.000-05:002007-01-28T12:30:00.000-05:00Yeah, it's crazy....

You can't send homemade treats to school .. kids can't share (or trade) lunches ..<BR/>But I don't think that the lunches are necessarily *healthier* ..<BR/>Here are some of SweetiePie's daily <I>choices</I> (yes there are several choices):<BR/>Pizza Wheel (?)<BR/>Cheese Quesadilla w/rice <BR/>Turkey & cheese sandwich<BR/>Hamburger, cheese burger, or chicken burger<BR/>Low-fat cheese or Pepperoni Pizza<BR/>Plus, veggies, fruits and salad.<BR/><BR/>This is for one day ... SweetiePie doesn't like to get lunch because she has a difficult time making a choice ... but can you blamer her here?Frannie Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09857687216047303208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14668654.post-1169830473839665932007-01-26T11:54:00.000-05:002007-01-26T11:54:00.000-05:00Isn't this a violation of...

We're afraid you might force Peter to eat it, or he might be so high one day that he'll forget his food allergy and eat your lunch," I might talk to a lawyer.TSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340423473462970567noreply@blogger.com
