Woman Handing Out Letters, Not Halloween Candy (if she deems the child "moderately obese.")
A local woman stated her intentions to take childhood obesity into her own hands during a Y-94 radio interview the morning of Oct. 29.
She has decided to give a letter instead of candy to Halloween trick or treaters that she feels are "moderately obese."
"I just want to send a message to the parents of kids that are really overweight... 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," says the author in a Y-94 morning radio interview.
That's where the letter first surfaced and started to spread through social media.
"They were chatting today and got a call from Cheryl out of the blue who really wanted to voice her opinion about obesity and that it really takes an entire community to solve the obesity challenge," says Y-94 Program and Music Director JT.

38. Since insurance is now a public interest
this is just the first of the "suggestions" and it won't be long before we're hearing this kind of thing from government spokespeople
I don't want to pay extra because some fat kid or his parents can't keep his food intake under control. Since smokers have to pay more, so should everyone that costs us all more.
After we get single payer we will probably get put on diets mandated by the government.
