You are unable to make your mother understand your dietary constraints and you
are unable to make your daughter take control of her dietary constraints

Rather than address the issue, you spend money on it...and you are so proud that
you spent money to have Walmart ship their product to their store for you to
pick up.

No. You should be responsible for seeing that she understands the need to
control her diet

And she is the one with the problem, isn't she?

So to recap, you were able to take control of your diet/nutritional needs, but
your daughter isn't. And just to point out the obvious, unless your daughter is
a zombie, she already knows about boys and probably more than you did at that
age.

Wait a minute. At 13 without the web you studied nutrition, but your daughter is
unable to research her nutrition/medical needs?

Maybe her search engines are broken, but just exactly how hard is it to research
low-carb diet...I assume she actually knows how to dl iTunes
