Rationing Halloween Candy

What do you think? This woman is giving letters instead of candy to the kids that she feels are moderately obese.

  • This is horrendously rude!!

    It is one thing to directly approach a child's parents (though still way out of line!) about the child's weight. It is completely unacceptable to put such a letter in a child's candy bag where that child may very well end up see it! Can you even imagine how those kids would feel about themselves?!

    If you're really that concerned about childhood obesity, hand out a healthy snack instead of candy you horrid, judgmental crone!! Don't single kids out; make healthy eating your goal for every kid who walks up to your house!

    Totally agree that is how that should be handled. Or, I dont know, dont hand out any candy at all you mean bitch!
  • I totally saw this this morning.  Lady has probs....  If you are so worried, don't be a biatch, give out a healthy snack.  What a rude woman!!

  • Agree with @LuckyAngel07. If she's so worried about childhood obesity, she should hand out a healthy snack. Even some of those kids that she deems skinny enough now to get candy could struggle with weight later in life.

  • I saw this on the news too...what an evil rude c-u-next-tuesday! I mean, how are you going to deny a child a piece of candy when it's Halloween? Give out something healthy if it bothers you that much but don't give a letter saying the kid is fat then say no, you get nothing. I'd like to kick this lady....
  • O.M.G. That is incredibly rude!  She should be punched in the face!

    I agree that handing out healthy/healthier snacks would be the smart thing to do. Because, ya know, one night of trick or treating is the reason there's an obesity problem in this country.  If you're so concerned, address it ANY other time! Why don't you start with school cafeterias whose idea of a healthy lunch is pink slime and a fruit cup? FFS, lady, it's Halloween!  Let kids be kids and get candy!

  • I say we all band together and go throw eggs and toilet paper at her house :P
  • I just read there's a very good chance this was all a hoax.  I'm really glad to hear that someone wouldn't actually do something like this, but I'm also a little bummed we don't get to see how it all panned out...
