why not give out fruit instead, think that would send a stronger message. She should get a neon sign... No cold calls, no trespassing, no fat kids!!!

 

It would no doubt be cheaper to buy candy and give it out than it would be to buy fresh fruits and vegetables and give out.

That was AMAZING!!! Soooo many FAT, OBESE children, the very last thing they need to do is stuff their face with candy.

 

Last night, I went to a bar a female friend was working at. I walked in and said "What do you have that is both Zero carb and No caffeine?... Do you have spirite Zero?" They had nothing of the sorts. All diet with caffeine, or Sprite and 7up which had no caffeine but quite a few carbs ..

 

This time i drove down / not walked so I couldn't have the carbs and it was 8pm at night and i'm getting old (34) So I couldn't have the caffeine or I would never be able to go to sleep, So in the end I just had a glass of water.

 

One reason i'm not even giving out Halloween candy is, what happens to the left overs? YOU EAT IT!

American kids aren't overweight because of candy. certainly not candy alone and certainly not on one day a year. 

 

they're fat because their parents feed them crap food and feed them to much food. primarily the to much part, and don't make them play outside anymore.

I half agree with this. The message she's trying to address is a good one. There is a huge problem with weight in the US, I just think she could've addressed it in a different way.

"Alright -- drop and give me 20 pushups -- then you get the candy." :laugh:

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
