Woman swaps letters for candy in obesity fight - TODAY.com

Some children may be getting more trick than treat when they collect their candy this Halloween.
According to reports, a woman in Fargo, North Dakota says she'll be handing out letters, instead of sweet treats, to children she believes are "moderately obese."

Valley News Live

In an interview with Y-94 Radio in Fargo, she explained her reasoning behind her letters.
"I just want to send a message to the parents of kids that are really overweight," she said. "I think it's just really irresponsible of parents to send them out looking for free candy just 'cause all the other kids are doing it."
Do you think she is setting a good example?

This is pretty funny.

I think people like this need to find a nice tree to park their car up.

LOL Everyone is thinking it she has the stones to do it. While I think the message could be handled a bit more tactfully I don't have a problem with it.

Jesus what a killjoy.

If you wanna make a difference lady, go be a PE teacher or work at a community center doing kids aerobics and quit bitching at little kids.

Nothing helps turn a child around like destroying their self esteem.

Well Hillary Clinton says it takes a village and Michele Obama wants to fight obesity. Seems she wrepped the two together very nicley.

It takes a village? Maybe. It definitely doesn't take ass-hats like this though.

A person like that is someone who takes joy from destroying the ideas and dreams of others , in this case children . If you like what she did then you have no problem with telling kids there is no Santa ,Easter Bunny or Tooth fairy ,so as I understand it no childhood at all .
If you don't like the holiday ,fine , turn off the light and put up a sign or just don't answer the door ,nope she has to call the kids fat and then think she should be thanked for it .

Nobody said you had to be the village dick about it though. Like I said, be productive. Anyone can hand out leaflets and be a douchebag to little kids.

Is that a threat?

Jerk move...fat or not Halloween is a kids' holiday. Let them have fun.

The parents DO need to be lectured but don't make the kids feel like crap because their parents are failures.
