[quote=Anonymous][quote]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]

If you can't be bothered to participate then you lose the right to bitch about the outcome. You don't need to spend days fighting anyone. Just go to one of the meetings that probably don't happen more than once a month and say something or send email to the PTA group list serve.

My suggestion would be to separate your "she's a health food nut" from what she is advocating. I don't like health food people either BUT I'm smart enough to be able to separate the individual from the position that is being advocated. The issue is should juice be provided at parties or whatever. Respond to this not some over aching fear that she will come to your house and take away your juice.

On the bigger issue of health food vs junk in school, I'm actually surprised that the schools don't self regulate better. We're as far from health food crazed as you can get but even I am surprised at how much sugar is given to kids who get no physical activity during school. I'm just surprised that teachers haven't been objecting as they bear the brunt of hopped up on sugar kids trying to sit in chairs all day. I also get annoyed at the school newsletters that come home lecturing parents not to give/send sugary snacks and make sure kids get exercise when the school is pumping them full of sugar and not giving them the opportunity to get physical activity.
