Woman to hand out 'obese letters' to overweight children on Halloween

SmashMouth · 10-30-2013, 04:58 PM

Imagine going trick-or-treating for candy this Halloween and getting a critical letter in your candy bag.

That’s what may be happening to some kids in North Dakota this year. One woman called into the Y94 radio station in Fargo this week to say she doesn’t plan to just give Halloween candy to all of the children who come to her door.

She said she also plans to give a sealed letter to any overweight children who visit her, which the children are then supposed to give to their parents. In the letter, the woman plans to tell the parents that they are acting irresponsibly by sending their children out to seek candy when they are already overweight.

The letter, which Y94 says was emailed to them by the woman, reads in part:

“You [sic] child is, in my opinion, moderately obese and should not be consuming sugar and treats to the extent of some children this Halloween season.

My hope is that you will step up as a parent and ration candy this Halloween and not allow your child to continue these unhealthy eating habits.”

When asked by the hosts of the show why she didn’t give out toys or stickers instead of candy, the woman, who identified herself only as Cheryl, said she didn’t want to be the “mean lady” in the neighborhood. The woman also said that she doesn’t plan to deny candy to any of the children who visit her house.

Someone needs to send this lady a "b**ch letter". Many of the children will grow up, loose weight and be lovely people, I'm sure. This lady, on the other hand, will always be a b**ch.....and probably ugly to boot.

PS: She needs to invest in a grammar checker.
