Halloween grinch in North Dakota? Fat notes replace candy

from cnn.com: Instead of handing out candy, a local woman called into a radio station, saying she plans to pass out letters to trick-or-treaters she feels are “moderately obese.” How do you say killjoy? “I just want to send a message to the parents of kids that are really overweight,” said the woman, who identified herself only as Cheryl, during an interview with WDAY-FM radio in Fargo. “I think it’s just really irresponsible of parents to just sort of send them out looking for free candy just ’cause all of the other kids are doing it,” she said. Since news of such a Halloween plan went viral, people have called CNN affiliate KXJB-TV questioning whether the story is a hoax, according to the station.
