Give the Children Real Treats Instead of the Usual Sugary Path to Diabetes and Obesity!
Ok the subtitle is rather strong but I am passionate about reducing sugar consumption in this world so this is a timely reminder. I never give out anything with sugar in it at Halloween as I simply do not see it as a treat for children.
Whenever Halloween comes around; in the past I would wonder what to do. I used to buy packets of peanuts but now we know many children are severely allergic to them so that is not good choice. Other years I found small boxes of raisins but in the past few years have not been able to find them.
The last couple of years I have been making sure that my actions show how much I care for the welfare of the children in the community.
I invite you to join me in this endeavor to increase the wellness of children by not giving them candy filled with chemicals in the form of colour and artificial flavorings and of course sugar.
