ND woman to hand out "fat letters" to overweight trick or treaters

[sio]

It's bad enough when you get raisins, apples or toothbrushes on Halloween. But one woman is taking the "no candy" gift to new extreme. She's handing out written letters, but only to children she deems as "obese."

Right. She told a radio station anonymously that she plans to give out these letters in advance of Halloween because she's worried about the cardiovascular health of children. And she's totally going to do exactly that, because she's not at all a coward and a concern troll, and she's not even a little bit enjoying watching people get upset about it.

That's mighty thin of her.

ahhhh, yes, this will end so very well for her.

kinda like the douche in my old 'hood who gave out chick tracts every Halloween.

enjoy all the eggs, toilet paper, and flaming bags of dog shit you're going to be getting, hun.

Can we have a thread for horrible things neighbors gave us on Halloween?

Because there used to be a man on my block who'd give out prayer beads and a long speech on how Halloween was a black-magic pagan festival and we were all going to hell. It was WEIRD.

[mercystars]

lolol yes

too bad we can't introduce your guy to chick tract man, they could've then fought over which religion was the right one

i'm still hoping this is a hoax.

I'm kind of surprised she's handing out candy as well, given that the current position of several prominent anti-fat crusaders is that it's too late for the already-fat, but maybe we can save those who are still skinny!

It only takes 70 snack size candy bars to add a pound of fat, after all!* WHY ARE WE RISKING THE THIN KIDS?!

*Not true

[moonshaz]

Oh good. I've only eaten 5 or 6 of them so far this year, so I guess I'm safe. *ironic laughter*

Why not simply turn out the lights, close down her home and donate some money to one of those children with diabetes causes if she's so concerned. There are a dozen more ways to make her message effective than THIS.

I was talking about this with a portly friend of mine today, who said she gets this all the damn time. People are like "Oh, it's because we're friends/because I care about you" and she's like "bitch please, we aren't friends and the only thing you care about is feeling superior." That is exactly what this pathetic woman is doing, and with little kids? What a jerk.

Not the OP, but as a heavy and also naturally stockily built person, I personally like that term. Makes it sounds like I got that way from eating too many pheasants while sitting in my Chesterfield armchair drinking claret, or something.

But...but... shouldn't it be from drinking port? *does not compute, does not compute* ;-D
