If you believe that, go set up a "Free Candy!" stand at a local playground and see how long before the police show up.

This is a sign of a broken community. Handing out candy is absolutely fine as long as the kids are old enough to understand their own allergies and limits.

But kids don't know their own allergies and limits, because they're kids. That's the point.

		> kids don't know their own allergies and limits, because they're kids. That's the point Counterpoint: Halloween. Most kids are competent enough to manage their survival in such circumstances. Some are not. And sometimes it’s not the parents’ fault. But if a community is raising a generation too imbecilic to choose if they can eat chocolate, their life path is sort of already written.
