Okay, really random post to first comment on but as a school administrator, this one dinged all my buttons.
First, as a nut/peanut free school I can definitely relate to the problems of educating parents, making sure our environment remains nut free, etc. We have had parents who insist on sending in real peanut butter despite repeated warnings. WTF?
But, soy butter is awesome and completely welcome in our school - as long as parents let us know it's soy butter (which, go you for doing!). I've sent out a written note, an email and wrote a little article about nutrition in our newsletter. Haven't had a single problem since them.
So sorry you're dealing with this nonsense, sweets. I hope the email campaign is successful!
