[quote=Anonymous]My daughter was in a class with her daughter.  At first I thought she really cool, funny and an interesting person, then the subject of food came up..; she was very health food fanatical.  Talk about controlling with her kid!  The more I had her child around the more I saw how unhealthy this mother's psychological anxieties about food played out on her child.  I eventually steered my daughter away from her daughter because the child was so weird and every time the mother was around she was on top of her child for every move her daughter made was so exaggerated that it was just embarrassing and unhealthy for my child.

Now she's gotten involved in the PTA, and I recently received an email on our school list serve about juice at class parties, how she buys an alternative product at CostCo and a whole lecture on sugar, like we are all idiots!  This is an elementary school, the kids don't drink juice anymore, and if some parent brings juice for a twice a year party I think our children will survive.

I have a friend that is on the PTA with her and she tells me that she is leading a drive to ban the PITA chips and ice creams the kids can purchase ONE day a week in the lunchroom.  She is also starting a crusade to eliminate all snacks during the MSA tests, because they are not healthy enough,

I know I am just complaining but I really dread what is going to come next and I hate to know one health nut can have so much power in a school.  I've spoken to her in person she is fanatical, I have a job and can't spend my days fighting her...  probably nothing to be done, just venting about how creepy and uncomfortable I am about her.[/quote]
