5,000 calories of processed junk and sugar is 5,000 calories of processed junk and sugar whether you eat it all in one sitting or spread it over two months. No kid really needs it.

No, but, given the choice between not taking my trick or treating EVER or letting them indulge in moderation once a year, I'll pick indulging in moderation. I never went trick or treating. Wasn't allowed. So, I live through my kids and let them have some fun. <off to find her bad parent card>

My dentist told me she prefers kids to eat all their candy at once. A little bit of sugar every day for two or three months is worse for your teeth than eating the same quantity in a sitting or two. Plus, only freaks ration their Halloween candy. Mine was always gone in less than a week.

Me either, giramomma. My parents were very religious & against anything "evil". However, we made out like bandits because our grandparents thought my parents were too strict and each of my grandmas would buy each of us kids our own bag of halloween candy!! That's 8 bags of candy that ended up in our house Now my mom wants to see the grandkids all dressed up each year and keeps apologizing profusely for not letting us have fun when we were little. So she makes up for it by giving our kids a TON of candy and dress up costumes. LOL!

Not to mention it gives your dad ample opportunity to eat all your Snickers and Butterfingers. You eat all the good stuff in a couple of days leaving behind the DOTS, Chuckles and Good & Plenty for everyone else.

You need a day off, all this working 7 days a week has made you extra b!tchy. I know more kids that have Halloween candy leftover because they lost interest in it than I do those that eat it all. Christmas was an arbitrary event picked out of thin air, if that makes you feel better. No kid needs anything other than shelter and basic food. We all like to let them enjoy themselves though don't we?

So dating myself, but my parents were afraid that razors, pins, whatever else would be in the candy, since it was in the news at the time. And also possible abductions, etc. When I was older, I did get a small non-food gift. But, it still makes you look lame..

Exactly, except good & plenty is awesome and goes on the eat right away list, but definitely below the butterfingers, reeses, and snickers.

Candy weirdos. Anybody else get those rock hard Brach's peanut butter candies in the orange and black wrappers? I think those are a conspiracy on the part of dentists to drum up more business.

I hated those things. Those were on my give away list... Yep, all the good stuff was gone in just a few days.

This is simply a small-scale implementation of what Mayor Bloomberg tried to do on a state-wide scale in NY. Hand out notes (cease and desist sales orders, in Mr. Bloomberg's case) saying "You're too fat and too irresponsible to deserve that." Not only that, this woman's approach is more targeted, more advisory (i.e. less binding), and more "hands on" in the sense that she has to look the people in the eye when she calls them fat and irresponsible. Should we blame these people for trying to make the world a better place?
If you're fat, you make the world a bad place?

Or the kid was born fat, was a chubby baby, a chubby toddler, and when the kid is out of your sight, eats everything they can get their hands on. My kid appears to be lacking the "appetite off" button. Do you think PCOS plays into this? I have it. I also have a DD like your. She's overweight, but she's a solid girl, too. It would be nice for her to shed a few. We'll get her in more physical activities this winter. She's also got hair patterns that might indicate that she's going to have PCOS like me. We are also doing what you are supposed to: little to no juice, generally no deserts, little to no screen time (about 30 minutes a day on a good day), etc. etc. etc. I'm even encouraging her to drink water before eating more food..She has her 5 fruits and veggies a day... I'm not sure what else we should be doing.. I have PCOS too. She's probably going to have it. Or she does have it. Whatever you call it in a 6 year old.

If you're fat, you make the world a bad place? If you are fat and unhappy you do. And if you are fat you should be unhappy.

I'm equal opportunity. I make my kids weigh in before they're allowed to leave the house to go trick or treating. Over 100 and they have to stay home on the treadmill in between handing out candy. When kids come to the door I give the chunky ones a celery stick and the thin ones a handful of candy.

I do not intend to sound insensitive or to minimize the struggles of those with overweight children, but be glad that food is their "drug" of choice. My BFF's daughter (beautiful, smart, caring girl) struggled with her weight her entire childhood. She then resorted to meth and herione instead of food to self medicate. She's in therapy and counseling for the underlying issues and I hope she can get herself out of this mess. at least she's skinny now.

I thought we'd established a long time ago on YM that the answer is yes. You make the world a terrible place and nobody will ever love you, now put down that candy bar and coffee!

You send the kids out and eat all their candy because they're too fat and you need it more than they do. <<scours for good spot to watch Dark's house get TP'd and egged>>

I love how people inform others about their weight like they don't already know. What a narcissist to think HER opinion matters to these families! At least the kids are outside having fun and getting exercise and fresh air. Is this her Witch persona she puts out special for Halloween? And people need to fight fire with fire and send HER a letter. Dear Witch: Thank you for you obnoxious unasked for opinion. I get that you're too cheap and lazy to buy candy for kids so why not just go crawl in your little hole and mind your damned business. Sincerely, Hates Ass hats who are mean to children on holidays <<sets pile of shit on fire at doorstep>> Or? Dear Madam: My kid may be a bit overweight, but that can change. Unfortunately, "blackhearted" is forever. Love, Someone Who Would Like to Kick You In The Kneecap But Was Raised Better

During therapy she's gaining it back. Kind of makes it hard to equate drugs as bad.
