Michelle Obama Inspires Federal Office to Ban Halloween Candy…From Kids’ Halloween Parade

The Philadelphia Veterans Affairs office announced Wednesday that it would hold a Halloween parade on Friday for children of VA employees, but warned employees not to hand out any candy or sweets to the kids.

Instead, the VA said the day care center in the office has “joined First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move Program,” which means the kids should be given things other than candy.

“Please help us teach our children to make healthy food choices!!” the VA said in an email to employees.

“If you would like to hand out treats during the parade, please give healthy snacks such as pretzels, raisins, granola bars and sliced apples,” it said. “NO CANDY PLEASE!”

“You may want to consider gifts such as pencils, crayons and rings instead of snacks,” it added.

The Democrats have totally imploded a week before election day. They have taken a pro-ebola anti-quarantine health position and now they are taking candy from children! Joe Biden and serial rapist Bill Clinton are on the campaign trail endorsing candidates and terrifying voters! They are tone-deaf and have no self awareness of the damage they do to the country on a daily basis. The Dems are toxic.

That witch! Doesn’t she have a clue what Halloween is all about? She can take her apples and shove it up her husband’s favorite spot.

Doesn’t she know that pencils can poke eyes out? AND since when is a pencil or crayon a “Healthy food choice”?

Doesn’t she know that a ring can be a choking hazard to a child?

That woman is pure evil.

Halloween is about Trick or Treat. Now it’s just trick or trick since she took the treat out of it.

The Dems are toxic.

No doubt. They must really have the vote fraud thing locked up if they are acting like this the week before the election.

I wonder...Do the machines change every vote, or just a percentage?

Communist goal: 31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

"Oooh, a scary ghost! Here's a broccoli floret, Bobby!"

LOL.

How can anyone think they can sell the idea of no candy for kids?

great idea! Tomorrow I will offer every kid a choice of a pencil, a carrot or a candy bar...with the price being rejecting Michelle. I’ll only need one pencil and one carrot.

I fondly remember, as a child, of wearing a costume, walking all over the neighborhood carrying a bag, having to repeat the same stupid phrase over and over.... just to end up with a bag full of pencils.

Later that night I got hand cramps.

Don’t you remember as a kid running door to door Halloween getting #2 pencils? Good times.
