FARGO, ND (KTRK) -- No candy for overweight kids. That's the message one woman is sending to trick or treaters this Halloween.

A woman in Fargo, North Dakota called into a radio station and claimed she will not hand out candy to children she believes are 'moderately obese.'

Instead she plans to give those kids a letter to take home to their parents which claims its "irresponsible" to let them trick or treat.

The letter states: "You child is, in my opinion, moderately obese and should not be consuming sugar and treats to the extent of some children this Halloween season."

LMAO

I guess no candy for you Clay.

I smell eggs. A messy shitload of eggs.

Wow LMAO

Oh yes

Meh. Screw the little fat bastards. They are and will continue to drain the American health care system throughout their lives. The letter is a bit excessive though. How about a stalk of celery instead.

I actually feel bad for the little tubby kids that get this letter.

I'M NOT FAT

AND EVEN WHEN I WAS

I DIDN'T CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN

IT IS A PAGAN CULT TRADITION

I see a run on TP, eggs, and plastic forks at the local supermarkets in Fargo.

I used to steal the "good" candy, like the little Snickers, from my kids when they were real little. Now they give me the circus peanuts and shit.

Plastic forks?

I'll take Irreparably Emotionally Crippled for $1,000, Alex.

I "tax" my kids by taking all their mini Heath bars.

You... Heathen!

Muu****a you child be obese as haaayl. Make that lil ****a stop eatin candy.

I prefer sporks

If you're going to be "that person" on Halloween, give out apples to everybody. Don't be a dick and single kids out.

Good for her. You wouldn't give a crack addict more crack so support their destructive behavior, right? So why would you give those little fat bastards candy and help them continue on the path of a lifetime of major health issues that tax payers will be forced to foot the bill for.

Brillant. I'm printing up my own notes right now. Fat ****ers.

Ever fork someones yard?

I have never heard of that.

The little fat kids will probably go home and fry the eggs instead of throwing them.

Guess thats old school. We did it a few times.

Kinky. But it sounds like a lot of work. I would rather hang their cat, if they had one.

Man...it's wrong and all but knowing myself at that age if it happened to me I can tell you right now that's exactly how I would have responded.

**********

This woman's behavior is arrogant, absurd, presumptuous, mean, and meddlesome and frankly she'll be lucky if that's all she gets in return. She's a real piece of work.

The expert they talked to is right on the $ in terms of it doing more harm than good.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is why I pass out cigarettes. Curb that appetite fatty.

This is absolutely correct which is why I can't agree with the woman's method.

At the same time, there's no ****ing reason a child should ever be obese. That's 100% a parenting fail.

Being a judgmental prick regarding Halloween candy isn't going to do one single bit of good for that fat kid's issue. Fat kids need a lifestyle change, but making a stink in the middle of a silly festival centered around candy isn't going to change the little fatty's situation. It's just going to piss people off.

Ephedra capsules wouldn't have those nasty side effects.

Maybe they'll get pissed off enough to eat a ****ing salad once in a while

ROFL well done sir...

she should just hand out slices of celery

That is fckign hilarious. Must suck to be a fat kid.

What's more likely is fatty may become more self conscious about his/her image than before, may get made fun of by friends if there are any w/ him/her. Which fosters depression. Which unfortunately does not foster healthy lifestyle changes but rather the opposite and may actually lead to eating more.

At least in terms of this particular subject this woman doesn't know her head from her butt.

Yeah, I'm sure their first response to being criticized for their weight will be to run out and eat a salad.

It's not the kids' fault. It's parenting fail. And you don't improve someone's parenting methods by simply calling their kid fat and denying them candy in the middle of Halloween festivities.

LMAO

Somebody's car in Fargo is about to get keyed....

She's about to learn what the trick portion of trick-or-treat means.

As I've stated before (along with a link), healthy people are a bigger cost long-term. Healthy people die of slow, expensive diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. Fat, unhealthy people die quicker and ultimately cost less.

Good for this lady. :thumb:

I got a rock/Charlie Brown

This. And my biggest problem is she's doing this with at least some amount of anonymity. She's giving this letter to the kids hoping the parents will see, but she didn't sign it, she didn't leave any contact info... if you're going to take that kind of stand, then be a grownup and stand behind your convictions.

This. All of it.

Sporks are underrated as eating utensils.

one year the wife and I were out of town for Halloween. wife left a bowl of candy w/our high school aged sons to hand out.

they ate all the candy and handed out ****in cans of green beans and cream corn to all the kids. we didn't find out about it for several months...one of the neighborhood mothers mentioned it to the wife at a bbq.

little bastards.
sec

Creamed corn is pretty good stuff... :shrug:

Instead if being a ****, she should have given the fat kids fruit or veggies.

I'm thinking that the burning bag of dogshit on the front porch is the appropriate response to this letter.

Did anyone ever Trick or Treat at Dentist house?

Don't.
My Mom would make us because he handed out tooth brushes and Nickels.

I agree that it is the parents fault but, seeing the note in their kids bag instead of candy SHOULD be a wake up call to them. Instead, they try to portray this woman as some kind of monster for pointing out that their little blob is too fat and should be taught healthier eating habits.

Sadly trick or treating is likely the most exercise many fat kids get all year

LMAO

Have they considered a career in politics?

Today's kids are such pussies. In my day we went to the emegency room from razor blades and ground glass in candy/apples/popcorn balls.

Instead of therapy for a ****ing letter. WITH A ****IN JACK-O-LATERN ON IT>

PUSSIES

Its none of her business. Period.
She should not have handed out any candy. Or, like a said, just given out a healthy alternative.

This isn't a ****ing Nanny State.

Some kids are fat and end up fine later. In fact, some of the fat kids from when I was a kid are now normal. A lot of the "skinny" kids are now fat. Particularly a lot of girls. For the ones who are lifetime fattys, so be it. Whether the bitch gives them a fun size Reese's or not isn't gonna make a god damn bit of difference so why bother singling them out? They're kids.

And anyone who says they wouldn't give a piece of candy to a chubby kid on Halloween because they "don't want to contribute to their obesity and then make society fit the bill later on" should be disemboweled with a wooden cooking spoon.

THIS. Some would call this relativism, but I don't care what eating habits someone else teaches their kids.

Let's start worrying more about ourselves than others folks. Get your own house in order before you start blasting everyone else's.

Did people really play the taxpayer card? seriously?
What a factory of sadness

Is Omaha doing the screening?

Fatties and smokers actually consume less healthcare, since they die a buttery, phlegm-filled death much sooner than the healthy.

Reese doesn't like snickers. It's the damndest thing. Sucks for me. So now some houses have been sending notes home with her; "Your dad is moderately obese..."

You've never been forked?

I have a VERY scary Haunted House set up at my place; little kids often go running from my front door so at least I can feel good in that they're getting some exercise.

Reported.

My son could stand to lose 10-12, I left it up to him to go as Biily Butler or Andy Reid, so we make it work.

Why so much hate? You are filled with hate. It's not healthy.

And, yeah, like the bag is not also going to have candy in it. :rolleyes:

I hope the fat little ****ers band together and burn down her house.

Didn't even think about this. Great point.

Is Bevischief behind this???!!!

OMG, I think the chick better rethink handing out that letter unless she's really tough...

except that if you were a fat kid, you'd have momma fry those eggs up into an egg and cheese omelet and eat it with bacon and buttered toast

I only just heard about this about an hour ago. I have no idea who this woman is.

he's a dumbass. I hand out coke and energy drinks. Meth for the teenagers.

I'm sure smokers made the same argument and yet, non smokers forced their will upon them.

As long as taxpayers have to foot the bill for fat people when they become too fat and sick to work, it IS her business.

If you find out, she needs to be CP'd

Address please.

ROFL
you should probably delete some pics in your album, buddy.
sec

She is a terrible parent for two reasons:

1. Feeds her kid crap
2. Posts this letter to gain publicity at the expense of said fat kid.

A good parent would've ripped it up and thrown it away.

Supposedly some radio station interviewed her today.

:spock:

The woman that wrote the letter posted it...
