When I was a kid, holidays were the only 'candy days.' Halloween, Christmas, or Easter. Birthdays got a small piece of cake, sometimes. Occasionally the odd sucker when I would get a shot without crying (under 6 years old). The amount of candy, cakes, chips, sodas, and other crap going down children's throats today is appalling. A kid today probably eats more sweets in one week than I do in an entire year. Disgusting.
