Michelle Obama Is Trying To Take Halloween Away From Kids Shortly after it was announced that President Barack Obama had intentions to change the name of Thanksgiving, Michelle has come under fire for what her failing program means for Halloween. According to recent reports, the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs office just announced that they would be holding an annual Halloween parade, but asked employees not to hand out candy or sweets to children participating. Why? The daycare center in the office joined the Lets Move Program, meaning that the kids are required to be given something other than candy. If you would like to hand out treats during the parade, please give healthy snacks such as pretzels, raisins, granola bars and sliced apples, one announcement read. NO CANDY PLEASE! The announcement went on to claim that residents should feel free to offer things like pencils, crayons, and rings instead of sweet treats. What do you think? Is Michelle taking her plans way too far?
