Even I'm offended by this...it's not the kid's fault. I'm sure she had the best of intentions but that's not her place.

I liked the point by the radio guy that they could hand out little toys or stickers. I'm kind of wishing I'd done that-- that would've been cool. I had one (fat) princess grab a WHOLE handful of candy when I told her she could take two. at least the other kids who nicked extra only grabbed like one extra.

While I see the problem with childhood obesity, this is very cruel. Some kids can't help being fat and others are fat because of their parents. Not to mention often kids getting close to puberty (especially girls)tend to start putting on weight. It's bad enough a little girl has self esteem issues, nice to make it worse for her. The best idea is to give out something that's not candy. One year trick or treating this one house was giving out trading cards of rock stars.



It would suck if you the chubby girl, out trick or treating with your skinny friends and knocked on that women's door... Ur friends all got snickers bars and you got a letter about how fat u were.... That would be awful!!





omg, if that were my daughter that woman gave the letter to..she'd be getting another knock on her damn door..adults who shame and pick on children disgust me, special place in hell for them





Yeah, I didn't read it , but that's mean, especially from an adult to a kid..wtf...one year I didn't buy/or have candy, I got creative (sorta) & gave quarters (there weren't too many kids). I also had cans of pink lemonade handed those out too. I think I also gave out little packets of those fruit thingies I think stickers would be cool

You know if something having to do with fat shaming offends ME it must be REALLY fucked up.

Same thing with me. I've never been fat is beautiful myself.




Handing out candy to kids she deems to be "normal", and giving what ammounts to a lump of coal to kids she deems to be too fat!? W-T-F!!If she is truly concerned about neighborhood childrens' health, she should hand out apples, bananas, oranges, and/or sugar free candy to ALLchildren. Or else shut off her damn porch light, and hide in the closet. She only just made herself out as the
of the block.
Furthermore, she has no business usurping the prerogative of the parents to reward, or punish their child. Singling certain kids out for punishment on what should be a festive occasion is uncalled for. Hell, I buy plenty of candy, 1 or 2 brands tops just because I don't want any kid to be the one that didn't get choice A. Lastly, an obese child isn't going to lose or gain noticeable weight over the 100-300 calories of candy you withold from or give to them. (FYI, 3500 calories = 1 pound.)
I'm right 96% of the time.I don't sweat
the other 5% .......................

I'm taller but when I was overweight I hated it and to me being overweight wasn't beautiful. I knew I was overweight because I was being lazy and didn't want people to say "oh you're the way God wants you". No I was the way I was because I ate one too many candy bars and drank one too many sodas.





In my case it was too many Wawa croissants and iced vanilla coffees. I saw the calorie counts in them after I quit drinking them....yikes...
On that note I do NOT condone the fat shaming of children....ever. It is not their fault. Adults are a whole 'nother ball game. I don't think we should be pointing fingers and yelling "Hey Fatty!" at everyone who isn't a size 2. I was fat shamed. My friends did it to me. I cried. I got angry and said "Fuck those bitches" "I'm not fat, I'm thick/curvy/(insert adjective or justification here)" Then I looked in the mirror and I saw what I did to MYSELF. Spare tire. A gut like Peter Griffin. Flabby arms. Saggy ass. I changed my life. I got myself fat. I got myself fit. I'm glad my friends fat shamed me. If they had tip toed around my feelings, sugarcoating it I shudder to think where I would be now.

I saw an article about this, but hadn't heard the audio. I think that's a hell of a lot of nerve. It's not her place, and is incredibly rude.

I wonder if this started out as a bad idea that got a few laughs when she told friends.
The fat kids probably got that way on juice boxes, tater tots, chocolate milk, and breaded everything. This self righteous stunt doesn't actually target why kids are getting so fat, so all it accomplished was making kids feel bad. Gorging on a pillow case full of candy one night a year until you turn green and projectile puke a rainbow is every childs right to indulge.
wow what a BITCH I have to wonder if it's some sort of joke to be honest, just to get a reaction...it definitely sounds like she is unsure of herself, like, she KNOWS it's fucked up.
