I just recently ran into this problem when I moved to Texas. My son does not

drink cows milk, because, though he does not have a documented allergy, he

reacts badly to drinking cows milk. He now drinks soy milk instead.

 

I was baffled when the cafeteria asked for a doctors note NOT to give him

cows milk! I told them I had no documentation on it but would be happy to

provide soy milk boxes. They went for that, but are still wanting me to take

him to a doctor here locally and have him checked out.

 

Whatever! He prefers to pack his lunch, anyway, so that is probably better

in the long run.

What!? You mean even if you pack his lunch they

still want you to have him checked out by a doctor?

What ever was their reason for this?

 

I guess some people still cannot believe you can be a

vegetarian child and be healthy child at the same time.

On one hand [if I were in your position] I would want to

have him checked just to proove it to them, but on the

other hand it angers me that they are insisting it out of

their own ignorance of the diet and its health benefits

as compared to the stuff they feed children daily in the

school lunch program. In many schools it is worse than

fast food with all the grease and few vegetables.

yeah, but sometimes you cant even get a Dr to back you up. We

had a Dr insist that we give the little one whole milk, even though

we explained that she had severe stomach cramps from it. We

were told that " she needs it " . :~(

 

We didn't listen, but it caused us a great deal of trouble with the

day care workers!
