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.

We really can't "lump" everyone together........

Our kids enjoyed going out trick or treating, just as their dad and I did in our day...........and now our grandchildren also enjoy getting the costume together and going out on Halloween night.......

Both of my children were always tall and thin and healthy.
Ditto for their children........all eat healthy and are healthy.

I personally do not believe one night of Halloween can ruin anyone's health. We always sat down to a home cooked dinner and I always provided all the nutrients in healthy meals........which they now cook for their own broods........believe me, the young adults today are very much into healthy eating, exercise and wellness. I admire all the young folks of today.
