Than the way Halloween is celebrated after it's introduction here.

 

Do the young people running around in their horror costumes trick or treating even know what Halloween is about? Do they really want or need all those sugar-laden treats they're given?

In a day and age where sugar consumptions is at an all-time high and known to cause diseases such as diabetes and caries?

Do they care?

Unlikely.

I get that it's fun, but so mindless.

 

A bonanza for the retailers and manufacturers of confectionery and costumery, of course.

Yes, very American and commercial.

 

But, funny this year, not a single child came to the house.

In fact I didn't even see a single one dressed up in the streets or shops.

I usually have something slightly healthier like long life big M's or apricot bars.

At worst, natural confectionary snakes.
