No candy for fat kids this Halloween

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.

[Hammock Parties]

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

[kcchiefsus]

I guess no candy for you Clay.

[ptlyon]

I smell eggs. A messy shitload of eggs.

[mdchiefsfan]

Wow LMAO

[gosampel]

I smell eggs. A messy shitload of eggs.

Oh yes

[tooge]

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.

[lcarus]

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

[Hammock Parties]

I guess no candy for you Clay.

I'M NOT FAT

AND EVEN WHEN I WAS

I DIDN'T CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN

IT IS A PAGAN CULT TRADITION

[journeyscarab]

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

[tooge]

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.

[allen_kcCard]

Plastic forks?

[Frazod]

Muufucka you child be obese as haaayl. Make that lil nigga stop eatin candy.

[ptlyon]

Plastic forks?

I prefer sporks

[rageeumr]

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

[FlaChief58]

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.

[BigCatDaddy]

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

[journeyscarab]

Plastic forks?

Ever fork someones yard?

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

[journeyscarab]

I have never heard of that.

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

[ptlyon]

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

[warpaint*]

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 woman's behavior is arrogant, absurd, presumptuous, mean, and meddlesome and frankly she'll be lucky if that's all she gets in return.

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

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

[Fish]

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.

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

ROFL well done sir...

[Dayze]

she should just hand out slices of celery

[eazyb81]

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

[warpaint*]

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

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.

[Fish]

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

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.

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

[blaise]

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

[Fire Me Boy!]

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.

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.

[HemiEd]

Good for this lady. :thumb:

[Fire Me Boy!]

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

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.

[Fire Me Boy!]

Sporks are underrated as eating utensils.

[seclark]

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 fuckin 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.

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

[BigMeatballDave]

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

[NinerDoug]

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

[Graystoke]

Did anyone ever Trick or Treat at Dentist house?

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

[FlaChief58]

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

She should not have handed out any candy. Or, like a said, just given out a healthy alternative.

This isn't a fucking Nanny State.

[lcarus]

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.

[phisherman]

Its none of her business. Period.

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.

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

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

[BigCatDaddy]

Is Omaha doing the screening?

[Skyy God]

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.

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

[Phobia]

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.

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..."

[luv]

Plastic forks?

You've never been forked?

[fan4ever]

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.

[BigCatDaddy]

You've never been forked?

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 fuckers band together and burn down her house.

She'll get a fair amount just from kids that won't remember where they got the letter, and she's certainly not standing up and saying, "I'm responsible for this." She wouldn't even give the radio station her last name, assuming "Cheryl" is her actual first name.

Look, I'm not defending the note. That said, nobody is going to go door-to-door and tell people their kid is overweight.

But, we as a society need to quit defending people who make blatantly poor choices for their children and dismissing it as their right to raise their kids. That's utter bull shit. Kids are fat. It's getting worse. Parents need to be held accountable.

There is a large portion of our population that doesn't believe in "infringing on the rights" of parents to feed their kids what they want.

[Fire Me Boy!]

We are actually looking at a generation of kids who might not outlive their parents. That's how bad the childhood obesity projections are.

Think about that.

That's misleading. That implies the kids will die first. What you mean (and is true and frightening) is a generation with a shorter life expectancy than their parents.

If she had any real integrity, she'd put a scale on her front porch with a sign: "Must weigh under 120 lbs to get candy, lard ass..."

and a letter like this does ZERO to help or change that.

If she's so concerned about health, she could give out sugar-free candy or something healthy. Instead she's relishing in being a snarky ****.

Exactly. If she really wanted to help, she would have handed out sugar free candy and maybe included a letter with statistics about childhood obesity/diabetes...maybe a website listed for healthy eating alternatives for kids, etc...y'know, educate instead of judge...snarky **** is right on the money.

If the parents pay for all of their child's medical issues that come with being fat, then they can feed them a bucket of lard every day for all I care. Sadly that's not how it usually goes and because of that, we all have to pay for the irresponsibility of parents because they think it's cute when their little pork chop eats a bucket of chicken with a gallon of gravy on the side.

This. I'm sure it is bad everywhere but since I moved to Houston from KC I see way more of it. I'm not talking about big boned or pudgy kids who haven't hit their growth spurt. I'm talking gilbert grape's mom at 8 years old. It seems almost abusive to me, but how do you fix it? Certainly not by singling out the tubsters on Halloween. Sell the xbox and buy a bicycle. I had to clean if I stayed inside on the weekends, that worked like a charm.

Fruits and Veggies aren't that expensive. That's a cop out. Protein is the issue, as that tends to get a little pricier. But I'm not advocating buying your kids steak here. Preparing a chicken and vegetable stir fry isn't that expensive compared to tv dinners or Mcdonald's.

Compared to fast food, you're correct. But junk food at Walmart is cheaper than produce at Walmart.

But let's not ignore the fact that produce at Walmart sucks ass. If you want to get decent produce, junk food at Walmart is significantly cheaper than produce at Publix.

Junk food might be cheaper than produce, depending on what you buy, but not by much. Fruits and vegetables do not break the bank, but some use that as a ridiculous cop out.

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.

I was making light of a pretty shitty topic. In truth, I think the existence of fat children is sad. The kid isn't buying the food that they put into their mouths. If they are, then they are being given the money to do so by the parent.

Parents with obese children, unless there is an underlying medical condition, which btw, is very rare, should be ashamed of themselves. I see fat kids and literally scowl at the parents. They might as well be physically abusing them. In fact, they are, just not the way most people see it.

I see it all the time with kids that have a mouthful of bombed out teeth. The parents are pieces of shit quite frankly.

Technology is to blame, too. To get children out of their hair, parents used to send them outside (if they weren't already out there) to play. Now, they pop in a movie, hand them a tablet/laptop, or turn on the gaming system. Don't get me wrong, it's still up to the parents. Technology is just another avenue for them to be lazy parents. I mean, there are dance party games and exercise games? Kids really need video games to come up with ways to be active? Back in the day (I'm sounding old), we rode our bikes, made up games in the yard, or turned the radio on and danced.

Let's say cheap apples are $1/pound. That's on average 3 apples. I haven't shopped for Little Debbies in awhile, but you used to be able to get a 20-pack of oatmeal cream pies for like $1.50. Let's say they They've gone up hugely and are $3 now.

Thats exactly what I do. I'm not perfect as a parent, nobody is. But, when my kids are sitting around the house and it's decent weather outside, I absolutely tell them to go outside. They either end up playing some type of "wall ball" or jumping on a trampoline. More importantly, I've chosen to teach my children at a very young age, that McDonalds sucks, fast food sucks, what lean protein is and why they need it, and that vegetables and fruits are good tasting and good for you. In fact, the first thing my kids eat on their plates is the fruit, every single time.

I'm no food Nazi, we let them have snacks, but they are usually a small pudding, or a scoop of ice cream, or peanut butter and crackers. They don't know any different. In fact, they point out when they go to friends houses and the food choices are "hot dog or fish sticks" and they think that sucks.

My girlfriend likes to eat out (what woman doesn't?) so I've found that fast food/restaurant dining is far more expensive than eating at home.

The problem, I think, is just that people are lazy. It takes a bit of extra effort to go buy some noodles, lean beef and spaghetti sauce as opposed to grabbing a bag of pre-prepared Stouffers dinner. It also links to self-discipline as well though. We know the junk and fast food we eat is terrible for us, yet we still opt to cram that shit down our throats instead of buying apples, oranges, bananas and grapes.

Insulting a kid and his parents will do nothing to change their situation. Weight is often tied to self-esteem. Openly insulting these kids will not encourage a positive change.

I guess I'm spoiled then. Living in a warm climate does have it's perks and that's one of them.

I'm not made of money either and for many years I thought that quality food was simply too expensive until I started going to the FM. Processed foods are a thing of the past in our household with a few exceptions. Again, it takes a bit more effort but I would much rather cook with fresh ingredients when possible but, I totally understand that not everyone has the same options as I do.

My point was on the base of luvs. As a kid, we would be outside playing from morning until the street lights came on, with only being home for dinner cuz we had to.

We had all these things the kids have today. McDonalds, pop (a lot better & sugary than you get nowadays), chips, dip, candy, all that.

I guess you can argue that us being out riding our bikes, playing football, baseball, kick the can, ditch em, sledding, etc means less time to defile a bag of oreos. But who hasn't demolished a tub of chips & French onion dip when they were a kid and got yelled at by mom I'm the process?

Kids nowadays sit & play video games & watch TV more than we ever did growing up. I guess that was my point.

She obviously doesn't know what trick or treat means.

Bitch's about to get tricked.

Hey, we live in America and she has the right to do this. The fat kids don't have to come to her house.

If everyone would have handed out these letters when Claynus was a kid, he would've had to carry a 3-ring binder instead of a plastic pumpkin from house to house.

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 lazy, indolent bastards food stamps and welfare checks and help them continue down the path of a lifetime of dependence that tax payers will be forced to foot the bill for.


FYP.


Oh, wait, I forgot...you liberals are only in favor of saving taxpayers money if it agrees with your philosophy of state mind and behavioral control...

Crisco mixed with sugar and Red Food Coloring makes a tasty Halloween treat. You can scoop it out of the bowl with an ice cream scoop and just drop it into the kids' bags.

I just wonder if Clay had this much contempt for himself when he was a fat fuck.

You'd think he'd have an ounce of compassion.

No compassion.

I got pounded for years for being a fat kid, and a fat adult. Constant negative reinforcement.

Eventually I got fed up with it. Now I get the heebie jeebies when I walk past the big and tall section.

[Cephalic Trauma]

I got pounded for years

Hell yes.

No kidding. More press this way.

I think she's likely to win a dental and diabetes nobel prize for her actions.

She sounds like the lady that, when she opens the door, looks like she is dressed like a witch but then loudly proclaims, "We do not partake in this hedonistic holiday!"

Then you stumble away with your children all the while shaking your head and thinking "why didn't that bitch just turn off the porch light or man is she pissed because a house fell on her sister?"

Yeah I was never fat. Now I just dislike the pussies that change themselves because everyone makes fun of them.

You and Jared can go suck a cock made of candy corn.

That's pretty incredible, Rain Man, and I applaud you both.

I've never struggle with weight loss, but I'd be willing to bet parting with your favorite snacks, meals, portion sizes is actually more of an issue than getting motivated to go to the gym 3-5 times a week.

Thanks, but I wasn't really an obese guy.


I was 6'2 and got up to 217 back in 03'. Doesn't sound bad but I was very "skinny fat".


Started banging weights and eating right and it took about 2 months to get down to an extremely healthy 195. It just took motivation is all.

The people that get really big are the one's I worry about. Just getting started would be hard for them.

[stevieray]

you ever consider that you went through that.... so you, in turn, could relate and encourage/help others?

[displacedinMN]

Lady,

If you don't like fat kids, then don't give away candy.

They get a lot of candy, and you not giving it away will not kill them. There are other things that could be given too.

If not, close the damn door, shut off the lights, have a drink and go to bed.

You do not have to insult others to get the point across.

[Skyy God]

*****DC TURNING POINT*****

Record scratch

[Earthling]

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

Damn! Hilarious.

I totally disagree, I think in this instance you do have to insult others to get the point across. Shutting off the lights and going to bed isn't going to change anything. I think it's about time people hear what they don't want to hear even if it hurts their feelings. I don't quite agree with this particular tactic, but at some point somebody in their lives has to say "You are fat, maybe you should stop eating candy"

One things for sure, this ladies house is going to get trashed Big Time

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Drunk, codependent, women abusing, temper tantrum throwing, lying, thieving, back stabbing, lazy, uneducated, welfare receiving assholes always love telling other people how to live their lives. It somehow brings validation to all of their lifetime full of failures. They need it. It somehow makes them feel less worthless. When someone runs their mouth about someone else's lifestyle I almost always wonder what skeleton they're trying to repress and cover. There is no other reason to focus so intently on the imperfections of others besides desperately trying to forget they're own feelings of self worthlessness.

[Hammock Parties]

No. It has to be a personal choice. No one can make it for you.

[BigMeatballDave]

Look, I'm not defending the note. That said, nobody is going to go door-to-door and tell people their kid is overweight.

But, we as a society need to quit defending people who make blatantly poor choices for their children and dismissing it as their right to raise their kids. That's utter bull shit. Kids are fat. It's getting worse. Parents need to be held accountable.I completely agree with this.

This also has nothing to do with what that cunt did.

True. This lady is extreme. If you want to make a difference that bad, there are far better ways of doing so, as many have pointed out in this thread.

No shit.

Something along the lines of her saying, "You want a treat? Give me a lap first."

[Demonpenz]

I remember one house used to always give out nickles. I went back several times to get enough to by some eggs to throw at his car.

[Chief Roundup]

This will not end well for this "lady". As it really shouldn't. I would not be surprised if she didn't get assaulted or have her property damaged. If not and probably most likely both.

[stevieray]

No.

why?

Not directly. But they can certainly help one to find the inspiration, hope, or belief that they can lose weight.

Agreed. What better way to get parents attention than have the fatties cry their way home. Truth hurts but is needed.
