You're hating on the happiness and enjoyment of others. Put a sign up that says no trick-or-treating, problem solved. Are you also the guy who doesn't give birthday presents or Christmas presents because "gently caress the commercialisation of a special event" and "Christmas was invented by Coca-Cola?"

Nope, I give christmas and birthday presents, I also just shut the gate and it keeps people away. I'm saying it's possible to have happyness and enjoyment without a relentless marketing campaign and lovely unhealthy food marketed at children. The Rabbi T.

One of the Lower Hutt churches had a "Saints and Angels" party which seems somewhat limiting. You could dress in green, get pissed and run around chasing people with snakes, die horribly or write patronising letters to non-believers. You couldn't even go about on a rad fire chariot cause Elijah wasn't sainted.

Sure, but this is not really an argument against Halloween, more than a suggestion that kids should dress up and have fun more often, which I don't think anyone would disagree with. Gorging on chocolate and lollies until you vom once a year is hardly a health risk. voiceless anal fricative fucked around with this message at 08:14 on Nov 1, 2015 |

I'm personally sick to death of the PC brigade telling parents they shouldn't be putting razor blades and ecstasy pills in the candy baskets. It's how I was raised and I turned out fine.

Yeah man the kids don't deserve any sugary treats, not even in moderation not even once a year they can drat well find other ways to be happy the miserable little shits! What's that Timmy you want a birthday cake? Bad luck son but you and your friends better enjoy this lentil and brown rice casserole

If a child eats candy, even once, he or she WILL die because of it. This is a fact. America is trying to kill our children.

Unironically sugar is an addictive and destructive compound so why would you encourage children to binge on it, even if just for one night.

"addictive" is such a lovely word with so little meaning these days. sugar isn't dependence forming and while it's likely it's worse for you over and above it's caloric value compared to glucose, that effect is pretty minor compared to the fact it just tends to make people eat more than they intended. having a night enjoying lollies as a kid is pretty small on the scale of poo poo things that might happen to them to be honest, and I'd probably use it as an opportunity to teach my children about bio-feedback - "how did it feel when you ate all of that"

Ghostlight posted:Unironically sugar is an addictive and destructive compound so why would you encourage children to binge on it, even if just for one night. The real problem is the amount of sugar in everyday foods like muesli bars, breakfast cereal, yoghurt, drinks, prepackaged food in general etc. If you try and maintain a healthy diet overall and try to minimize this sugar intake, the occasional sugary treat is not going to do any harm. and no you're not going to get hooked on it like a addictive drug. To me that would be the smarter approach rather than a blanket no fun for you kids policy.
