And this is how my son started our conversation on Sunday.
Fortunately, it was Skype, so I could see him. He looked great! He looked just like he should! So, I swallowed hard and let him continue without me trying to reach through the computer and grab his butt back here from college.
Robert, who has a life threatening food allergy to milk, tells me that he almost made a terrible mistake. KEY WORD being "almost". Whew.
He was in one of the many food service lines in one of the many dining halls on campus and chose a drink to go with the lunch the chef specially made for him. He took it from the soda cooler and decided it looked like a drink he would enjoy. He never thought it could possibly contain milk. After all, it was in with the Coke products. However, as he went to pay for it, he decided he should check the ingredients and was incredibly surprised to see that this "cola" like fruit juice contained skim milk. My college kid was surprised, and I am sure relieved, that he took a second to turn over the bottle and read the ingredients before he took a sip and ended up having to self administer Epinephrine and spend a few hours at the hospital.
Seems as though milk is creeping into many new things lately.
Here is the drink he picked....owned by the Coca Cola company...it's called Fuze.
I also noticed a new Gatorade that has milk protein in it: Gatorade G-3
