Every Halloween, we spend weeks prepping costumes, porch decor, and party plans... but what about the actual stuff we give our kids to eat? 🎃 Let’s Be Honest With Each Other. 🍬 Start rethinking everything you were told about a very dirty little holiday in America.
- Most American Halloween candy is ultra-processed, artificially colored, and loaded with bad sugar and cheap, empty ingredients.
- Many of these brands use high-fructose corn syrup, petroleum-based dyes, and inflammatory oils.
- And yet most of Americans hand it out like tradition gives it a free pass.
Parents—It’s Time to Reflect:
-
Why do you keep buying the same candy brands when we know they’re made from low quality ingredients? If you didn't know, this is a wake up call to learn about food, ingredients and make better choices for yourself and others.
-
What makes it okay “just because it’s Halloween” or “a special occasion”? No such thing as a cheat day. You make conscious decisions to consumer anything so take responsibility and own it. Don't tell others to do what you do.
-
If we wouldn’t let our kids eat this stuff on a random Tuesday, why is it fine on October 31st—in mass amounts? Common sense applies all year round. Plus, if you are not in tune with your stomach, GI and bowel movements then it's time to grow up and become a real adult who is smarter tomorrow than yesterday.
-
Are we afraid of disappointing our kids, or other parents? Or are we just stuck in an outdated tradition? Sounds like a weak person response. It's not enough to have a great job, educated and a nice car, home or clothes. Your body is a temple and you should never spoil it with junk, and toxicities but if you do willingly reconsider more of your choices.
