What is it with people an giving out free candy?? You would think we got enough of it at Hallowe'en, but no. Parents who spend their spare time complaining about how obese society is getting fill their kid's baskets once again to mark the rising of Jesus. Can't we find a better way to do that than hunting for plastic eggs filled with enough sugar, hydroginated oils, preservatives, dyes and artificial flavorings to kill off our entire nation? But no.
The definition of tradition: It was like that last year. Complete with clogged arteries.
For mainstream America, Easter is like a christian Hallowe'en, complete with dressing up and baskets of candy. The only real difference is, Easter is pastel, and christians don't beleive that you go to hell for celebrating it. Depressing.
Candy is candy is candy, right? It doesn't matter if it's sold in orange and black and purple, or if it's sold with little pink bunnies all over it. IT'S STILL SUGAR, PEOPLE!! Guess what? It doesn't matter! Easter candy kills you as fast as Hallowe'en candy. Really. Pastel bunnies not withstanding.
Happy Easter, by the way!
(Had to end on a cheery note)

No! Nonononononono. Verrry bad for you.
VERY.
Read Sally Fallon. The gingersnap recipie is fabulous. Much better than Easter candy.
I am aware it's bad for you, but dark chocolate...once a year...
I concur. It's not all bad, but stay away from the bad stuff.
As in, Godiva and Lindt: good. Hersheys and Snickers: bad, baaad.
I am eating fine Whole Foods chocolate, because my mommy loves me and wants me to live a long time AND be happy!
Although I confess that I did have some crap stuff earlier in the week. pleasedon'ttakemypeepsaway..
