All the "eat healty hype" as far as I am concerned is spoiling everyone holidays.  Schools have even said all healthy snacks for holiday parties.  Geesh let kids have some fun and be kids, let them have fun Halloween candy, its once a year for crying out loud!!!  Thowing calories into our faces about pumpkin pie, dressing and all the other holiday food!  Its once a year!  Yes, for those on a diet, have some of all of the Thanksgiving food, eat a small serving, piece, ect.  But geesh have some fun and be guilt free!


I am tired of the media telling people how to raise their kids and telling me what to eat!  Enough already!!!!


 


Just needed to vent this!!!!

You bring up a good point. I don't remember being rewarded in school with candy.

i do agree that kids do not need candy & junk all the time. it is nice as a treat. but lunch is lunch. what is wrong with hot dogs, spaghetti or fish sticks & pizza w/ a sid eof salad & fruit
