You're being absurd. Dairy-free is not vegan - not even close. And yes, butter is dairy. Dairy is anything made with cow's milk. How have you reached adulthood without this knowledge?

Avoiding dairy at school is really not that hard. You are deeply, deeply overreacting and setting a bad example for your daughter. Her classmate's physical safety is more important that some mild inconvenience for her. Really. There's plenty she can eat.

-Not a parent of an allergic kid, but embarrassed for you for even posting this self-absorbed, clueless screed


NP. You're being absurd here. This is easily one of the most difficult food allergens to completely avoid, *particularly* for a toddler. I'm not saying it isn't a potentially reasonable policy, but we should be willing to acknowledge the significant difficulties this presents.
yeah milk is in so many things and at that age it’s particularly challenging
