“try these tricks to treat their sweet tooths without expanding their waistlines”.
...this is SOOO stupid! What kid goes out trick or treating looking for a “low-fat”, “low-carb” alternative to candy?! You trick or treat and you eat the best stuff (Kit Kats, Milky Ways, Reeces PB Cups) then you throw the rest away or give the “Smarties” and “peppermints” to your Dad for the folks at the office! They’ll usually eat anything that’s free.
Teach your kids moderation in ALL things and have them get some exercise. There is NO excuse for a kid to be fat! And don’t give me that “glandular condition” BS! Use articles like this to line a bird cage.
It’s Halloween for pete’s sake ! One day/night a year to dress up and eat lots of candy. Enjoy it !
These days it seems kids don't care as much about the chocolate -- they want all that super-sour fruit crap. *shudder*
