LittleWyvern Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) Wait a second. Said woman is supposedly mad at parents allowing their children to be overweight, so she's going to give only non-overweight kids candy to compensate? slow:clap: Edited October 31, 2013 by LittleWyvern Quote
Vort Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Please, please, PLEASE tell me you don't really mean any of this, even the tiniest bit. Because Halloween has NEVER been about Satan or worshipping him.Which is exactly what we would expect a Satan worshipper to say.I bet you write letters to Santa, too. And we all know Quote
Vort Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Giving her the benefit of the doubt, I assume the lady is sincere but simply misguided. I do hope she receives no flaming poo bags. Such a thing is not merely thoughtlessly unkind, it is illegal. Quote
pam Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Posted October 31, 2013 If she is happily giving interviews, she ain't asking for anonymity.Unless there has been an update, I've only seen where she has done interviews on radio. Therefore she can be anonymous. Quote
Bini Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Even if the bags aren't flaming poo, just bags of it left on your front doorstep is pretty nasty.. Quote
slamjet Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 I would write a letter back to her... Dear You, You are a moron. Now go eat a couple of sandwiches and let others be. Signed, Big Fat Guy Quote
NeuroTypical Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 I love to gather stories of extreme reactions to Halloween. There was a mormon guy a few years back who would plaster his door and windows with a sermon/rant against the holiday. The Baptists in the south who throw haunted houses as a way of learning about the dangers of hell and abortion are a hoot. This year, my evangelical Facebook buddy went on a rant about how Halloween isn't Christian, and how he was going to do a Harvest festival instead. Then my witch/pagan buddy gave him the lowdown on the utterly pagan roots of the Harvest festival, letting him know that pretty much the only thing that would be more closely related to paganism would be a full-fledged fertility dance. Good times! Quote
Guest Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Sometimes I have to wonder if the heavens just chuckle at how crazy we are. Quote
prisonchaplain Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 A woman in North Dakota is planning on handing out letters as well as candy, to the parents of the children she feels is obese. What are your thoughts on this?Woman plans to hand out obesity letters to trick-or-treators this Halloween | Deseret News I'm guessing (haven't read the string yet) that most will think this woman is nosy, mean, in-denial, superficial, etc. A few will likely say that she is well-meaning, and may help a few.My first thought? This is where Obamacare and nationalized healthcare is taking us. If everyone is paying for everyone's healthcare, then my weight, and those of my children, is everyone's business. If I eat in an unhealthy matter I increase my burden on everyone's healthcare system. If you kid is fat my tax goes up.So, I guess we'd better get used to this kinda stuff. Quote
Bini Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 I thought about this some more. You could still take a healthy stance by handing out healthier treats to kids. You could do vegan cookies, just to name one option, and there's so many options for vegan cookies. Quote

You could do vegan cookies, just to name one option, and there's so many options for vegan cookies.Indeed, do the nutritionist version of a Dentist handing out floss. Though vegan cookies, if home made, have some issues. A lot of parents make their children avoid homemade treats. Even if the vegan cookies are a no go you can still do something like string cheese or snack bags of peanuts. Quote
prisonchaplain Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 I'd rather have a letter telling me I was fat. I come now...vegan Halloween is not so bad . . . Quote

Bini Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 I handout regular fattening treats on Halloween but we don't buy any bags until a few days before or on the day of - just so we're not munching on them - yes I'm bad when it comes to Peanut Butter Cups.. I did know someone on a forum that I used to frequent that claimed to offer only healthy treats - no nuts, etc. I think that's waaay too much work, and like Dravin said, anymore people are skeptical over homemade goodies.

Bini Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 OK, PC. I'm all for vegan stuff but that just doesn't look so appetizing! There are so many appetizing recipes out there Quote
Backroads Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Apparently, this whole thing may be a hoax Quote

There are so many appetizing recipes out there The whole problem with die-its is that they are about death. Don't eat this, don't combine that, be careful, be stressed. I'm guessing that die-it-ing is indeed deadly.:::imagine my best Richard Simmons voice immitation::: "Don't die-it...LIVE IT!"Portion-control, moderation, and eating in peaceful joy--these are recipes for long life.I can respect vegans.

Which is all the more reason to eat healthy and eat the things you enjoy. Quote

LittleWyvern Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 GOOD GOSH, That looks just like Lockup Loaf!!!That's because that's exactly what it is (and it usually isn't vegan, ethier). Quote
Wingnut Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Apparently, this whole thing may be a hoaxYeah, because the last radio crank call hoax that went viral had such a happy ending.Makes me sick. Quote
