From Wikipedia:
The Greek name for the Milky way (Γαλαξίας Galaxias) is derived from the word for milk (γάλα, gala). One legend explains how the Milky Way was created by Heracles when he was a baby. His father, Zeus, was fond of his son, who was born of the mortal woman Alcmene. He decided to let the infant Heracles suckle on his divine wife Hera's

question for ya.. I have a coworker whose 12 year old daughter has decided she isn't going to eat meat, and seems steadfast in that. She's concerned that she won't get the proper nutrients she needs. Do you have any suggestions/links for her regarding vegetarianism for kids her age in regards to getting the proper amount of protien or whatever else she may be lacking? TYVM :)

Many of the links relate to veganism specifically, but I'm sure your coworker will find this list helpful. Tell her not to worry -- and to be proud to have a daughter who thinks independently and stands up for what she believes!
