I don’t really think this author realized what a touchy issue this is. Everyone has their opinions and personal taste in candy. There is really no reason to bash someone’s favorite one just because you don’t like it. But I agree when some people talk about the current economy and the price of candy. Not everyone can afford full sized candy, and I’m actually glad about that. “Portion control doesn't need to start this young.” 19 % of children age 6-11 are currently overweight. This increases their chances of being overweight when they grow up. “The data for adolescents are of notable concern because overweight adolescents are at increased risk to become overweight adults. The 1999-2002 findings for children and adolescents suggest the likelihood of another generation of overweight adults who may be at risk for subsequent overweight and obesity related health conditions.” (heart disease, diabetes, etc.) (The National Center for Health Statistics) I don’t think the author meant any harm by his comments but we need to realize that obesity is a problem and if giving out a smaller amount of candy can help children’s futures them I’m all for it.

I beg to disagree! I'm a child, so I know what children want. Believe me, kids want Dum-Dums, Tootsie Rolls, Laffy Taffy, Smarties, and fun sized things. (Although regular size would be better, but if all we can get is fun sized, it's good enough). And I like candy corn and wouldn't mind to have it for Halloween Candy. Also, it might not be my first choice, but I wouldn't mind rasins. YOU'RE VERY, VERY WRONG!!! Although, right on the toothbrushes, apples, and Necco Wafers. But that's about it. (And I'd say that hard candies are right in the middle)
