The "Halloween is ridiculous thread"

Yes, because you should be the one to decide this. Guess what, plenty of kids can eat a 100 lbs of candy on Halloween and still not get fat. It isn't about the candy, it is about you hating on something that is so harmless. That is why people mention the candy, because you're making a giant bitching thread about a holiday that is basically all about people having fun and getting free stuff.

The effect candy has on kids has really not a lot to do w/ a kid getting fat. We can turn this into a nutritional thread if you would like b/c that is an area I have studied but just understand that your post was way off base and you are looking at the effects of candy incorrectly. Anyway, this thread isn't about high GI food and its effects--it is about Halloween!!

I agree with Ser William. You're just hating on this holiday for no real reason other than you're being a grouch. I don't get it. Who cares if Targets or Wal-Marts start selling Halloween merchandise on the 4th of September? Why does this bother you? If people want to celebrate a holiday and it makes them happy, then they should.
