Michelle Obama Ruins Halloween For Kids Around The Nation... This Is Terrible Michelle Obama seems to have a knack for running things. For years now, she has received backlash for her punitive dietary requirements for children in this country. Now, thanks to Federal mandates, the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs office announced that it would hold a Halloween parade on Friday for children of employees, but would not be permitting any candy or sweets to be handed out to children. Instead, the VA said the day care center in the office has joined First Lady Michelle Obamas Lets Move Program and children should be given things other than candy on the holiday. Please help us teach our children to make healthy food choices! the VA said in an email to employees. If you would like to hand out treats during the parade, please give healthy snacks such as pretzels, raisins, granola bars and slice apples. NO CANDY PLEASE! The email also suggested bringing gifts like pencils, crayons and rings instead of snacks. Sounds appetizing, doesnt it? We cant say were surprised, though. Michelle Obama has already banned tic tacs and birthday cakes in schools. What do you think? Should children be allowed to enjoy candy on Halloween?
