North Dakota Woman To Give Obese Children Letter, Not Candy on Halloween
"You child is, in my opinion, moderately obese and should not be consuming sugar and treats to the extent of some children this Halloween season."
A Fargo, N.D., woman says she will give trick-or-treaters that she deems "moderately obese" a letter instead of candy this Halloween.
"I just want to send a message to the parents of kids that are really overweight. … I think it's just really irresponsible of parents to send them out looking for free candy just 'cause all the other kids are doing it," the woman said in a morning radio interview with Y94. She wouldn't identify herself.

Local woman's house burned down by pile of dozens of sacks of flaming poo on her porch.
Obese, costumed onlookers claim to have seen nothing.
I'm going to take a wild guess that the woman in question is a Democrat.

It is a hoax.
