🎃 Halloween Candy: What Parents Should Know


This week, Christine gets real about the scariest part of Halloween — the candy bag. 🍬


From petroleum-based dyes and preservatives to marketing tactics that trick parents into feeling guilty for saying “no,” this episode dives deep into:
👉 What’s really in popular Halloween candy
👉 Why “junk food” isn’t a dirty word
👉 What actually fuels eating disorders (and what doesn’t)
👉 How Big Food hijacked the “no bad foods” message
👉 Easy ways to make Halloween fun without the sugar overload


You’ll walk away with practical, guilt-free strategies — like the Switch Witch, candy buybacks, and “something better” swaps — to keep your kids healthy and happy.


Because you’re not the fun police. You’re the lighthouse. 🕯️
