My daughter too.  She is allergic to dairy and doesn't like meat of any kind.
 She is also the healthiest, most robust child.  She has never been on
antibiotics - only a few minor colds now and then.  So the line about cow
milk being important for children is hogwash - and probably paid for by the
American Dairy Association.  I could go off on a rant here but I will shut up
now ;.)
