Of course wearing masks does not stop the spread, but it reduces it, that's good.

In itself sugar is no problem I think, unless you have diabetes, candida or any other underlying diseases
Of course the white sugar might eat your bones, as it has no minerals in it; can be solved with 1 banana
Because any food gets converted into glucose; sugar goes a bit faster; saves the body energy even
I think it's best to educate children such important facts, then they know the consequences if eating it
Because eventually they do eat sugar always, esp. if buying fast foods, which happens a lot
Not to forget tea, coffee, cakes, icecream, milk, yoghurt, donuts ... all full of sugars

a bit more specific ... excess sugar or excess kcal might cause diabetes; some sugar junks never develop diabetes
But it is important to give the diabetes warning to kids, hence I mentioned it together with the other points
And if you just forbid it, then they tend to do it anyways. Education is far more useful, kids are smart
I wish they had told me when young. Also important to avoid diabetes is avoiding excess fat
Also consider your other thread...impact of hormones deficiency due to emotional stress.

A childish oversimplification.

Odd, considering how extremely liberal they are.

Because nothing screams "fun" like evangelicalism.They just hate anything that's fun. Basically...
I'd also like to see whose ban list is bigger. Both parties support the war on drugs, so they're both guilty on that score.
Republicans tend to be more prudish, so they favor banning things of a sexual nature, whereas Democrats tend to be more tolerant in that area.
Democrats tend to be health food nuts, so they favor banning or restricting anything they deem "unhealthy," such as cigarette smoking, sodas, etc.
Trick-or-treating has been declining for decades. Where I live, I get maybe 2-3 kids a year. I get more 18-25 adults.
The concerns have been anything from razor blades in apples, to poisoned candy, to concerns about promoting tooth decay.
Having a bunch of people go from house to house, collecting items touched in every house, just seems stupid during a pandemic. Should it be outright banned? I'm not sure of that.
But parents that allow and encourage it are guilty of endangerment.

Halloween is racist because people dress up as something/someoneThey just hate anything that's fun. Basically...
else, ie, massive celebration of cultural appropriation, blackface,
greenface, grayface, spandexface, pirateface, princessface, etc.
The possibility of a ban on trick or treat has been under discussion in our home lately. Personally, I could care less, but my daughter, who lives with us, loves Halloween and has a large collection of automated monsters and the like, so she is adamant that she will display them, without offering treats.
But, nearly always... in the place of either admiring these 'appropriations' or whatever.
This is what you get when people think enforcing their idea of wrong-think is OK - life gets boring. Can't make this music, that costume, this movie, that art, or write that book, etc. I think people would have had enough of this in the 80s-90s, but it seems my generation and the ones that came later forgot the PMRC efforts to police music and just went full Karen on everything. They're enraged at little Sally for wearing her Native-American costume failing to realize Sally just likes them and thinks they're really cool. (A good thing, lol.)
Such moves have consequences: Namely, it becomes difficult to tell what will be banned or removed next. Personally, for me, Halloween is a religious holiday and you can all suck it.

Because I expect the covid rate to continue to grow, and because it may be matched with the flu, Halloween is likely off the table, at least in our area. NYC and us (Detroit area) had the highest death rate from covid in the country at first, so we know what it's like.

Does a Municipal Code Limit Trick-or-Treating to Children 12 and Younger?

Origin
One of the common elements of the Halloween night trick-or-treat tradition is adults’ grumbling that some of the kids coming to their houses seeking candy are “too big” or “too old” for such an activity. Although there are no universal rules about who may engage in trick-or-treating — and some people feel everyone should be free to participate, including adults of all ages — general consensus seems to be that kids should be looking to enjoy Halloween activities other than collecting candy door-to-door once they reach middle or high school age.
As Halloween approached in 2018, many social media users began sharing (and questioning) what appeared to be a municipal ordinance for Chesapeake, Virginia, which limited “trick-or-treat activities” by law to children aged 12 and under:
This image does reproduce a section of Chesapeake’s code of ordinances (enacted in 1970), which not only sets a maximum age for trick-or-treaters (12), but also establishes an end time for that activity on Halloween night (8:00 PM):
Sec. 46-8. – Trick or treat activities.
(a) If any person over the age of 12 years shall engage in the activity commonly known as “trick or treat” or any other activity of similar character or nature under any name whatsoever, he or she shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not less than $25.00 nor more than $100.00 or by confinement in jail for not more than six months or both.
(b) If any person shall engage in the activity commonly known as “trick or treat” or any other activity of similar character or nature under any name whatsoever after 8:00 p.m., he or she shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not less than $10.00 nor more than $100.00 or by confinement in jail for not more than 30 days or both.
