2) Sugar/candy is a valuable commodity so get as much of it as you can (collect it...save it... hoard it).
3) Candy is a psychotropic tool: Eat some to cheer yourself up when you're sad, or eat some to celebrate when you're happy.
4) It's okay to take candy from strangers.
5) Parents take their wellbeing seriously.
What they might not know is that 1 out of 10 kids have a disease called "Non-alcoholic fatty-liver disease". It happens mostly to kids who are overweight but they don't have to be overweight to get it.

I forgot number 6) It prepares them for college: When they go away to college they will guzzle lots of booze (beer) in the spirit of "having fun". They will have learned that from Halloween and other such holidays where people stuff themselves with junk. And the lesson is: You can't be happy without it.
