North Dakota woman plans to give obese kids letters on Halloween

A North Dakota woman told a local radio station that on Halloween she will give children she considers obese a sternly-worded letter for their parents along with candy. The woman, who gave her name only as “Cheryl,” said she would still hand out candy but planned to give some trick-or-treaters a sealed envelope with a letter for their parents, she said Tuesday in a call to a radio station in Fargo. “As far as we know Cheryl is a local Fargo woman that thinks it is her mission to watch out for the overweight children of Fargo,” radio host Corey Schaffer said Wednesday. Schaffer said Cheryl’s Halloween plan has sparked some “nasty, nasty responses.” Among the responses was “Ready, Eggs, FIRE.” Others suggested she pass out healthier treats or not answer her door.
