"you are among friends!"

[veggielove]

I went to a hannukah party for my neighbors last night and people had cookies there - with colored sprinkles. They asked if my daughter (17 months) could have a cookie, and I said, "well, believe it or not, she's never actually had a cookie.... and I don't really do artificial colors....sorry...." I felt so antisocial.....

But then another family said, "don't worry, you are among friends, here are some organic cookies!!" and they had some organic cookies there to share, so I didn't feel bad letting Elena try them :-) She liked it well enough and ate a few bites but honestly she prefers broccoli ;-)

It was just nice to be around other parents who are really mindful of what kids eat, vegetarian or not (they are not, but at least they are anti HFCS and artificial ingredients!)

It's always nice to get surprises like that. When I used to homeschool and had just gone vegan, I was really bummed because we were having a pot luck and I was sure there was nothing I could eat. Turns out, there was another vegan family in the group. She had made a huge meal and brought it to the pot luck for her family, and shared with me. :pibo:

That is nice, and I'm jealous. :(

high fructose corn syrup

What's wrong with HFCS? Don't you know that HFCS is made of corn, has the same calories as sugar and honey, and is totally fine in moderation?

(have you seen those commercials?? :brood:)

Anyways, that's wonderful!! Sounds like a great group of people :)
