[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom raised me on whole, organic foods and no sugar and that's how I'm raising my kids. It's just how we eat. I've never known anything else. But, there is a line and at a certain point what we're talking about is a compulsion. The proselytizing, the obsession with food, the attempting to control every morsel that passes through anyone's lips... that's not just a healthy regard for healthy food. That's an eating disorder. It's called orthorexia nervosa (see http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/orthorexia-nervosa).

I would quietly but firmly approach the school administration and let them know that you think this person has an unhealthy obsession with food and that you object to her attempts to control everything the kids eat. Let them know that you expect them to reflect a balanced approach to eating and that you will support them if they put limits on her attempts to micromanage what's happening at school.

And definitely keep your kids away![/quote]

Great post!

Stop the crazy obsession with food.  It is not healthy.

And stop trying to parent everyone else's kids.  That is just too much.[/quote]
