Is it Possible to Limit the High Level of Fructose Corn Syrup on Halloween?

It's a battle every year to keep the sugar to a minimum in your child's diet.  But it all seems to come to a head on the holidays.  Halloween has always been a candy holiday but now Easter, Christmas, Valentine's Day are also sugar fests.  Two months before the holiday drug stores and market stock up on the bags of candy and decorations that serve only to fill your child's heart with anticipation for the magic of the day but also the cute and tantalizing candy that goes with it.  

With Easter, Christmas and even Valentine's Day you can find a way to limit the sugar without too much incident.  After all, there are plenty of symbolic gestures you can give as a gift and there are eggs to dye.  Stockings can be stuffed with small toys and trinkets.  More importantly, on those days you control what your child has access to.  If you want to use "health food" chocolate you can. But Halloween?  Forget about it.  Their bags are going to be held open and various sorts of treats will spill forth.

Halloween is big business and your child is the main consumer.  Why not just let them go for it.  But what if you aren't comfortable letting them fill their body with that very controversial high fructose corn syrup that is sweetening our candy lately?  It isn't even sugar anymore; it's that sinister syrup Oprah's heart doctor warned us all about: stay away from it, he warned.  It is poison.  So what's a parent to do?

Option #1: All You Can Eat....Tonight.  Offer your kids a deal.  They can eat as much candy as they want Halloween night.  Any what's left over you get to put away to be handed out at a more reasonable pace, like once a week in their school lunch.  Or better yet, throw away or give away the remainder.  But here's the real trick: feed them something they can't resist that is very filling before they go out for the night, preferably a lot of protein.  If they are feeling full the last they're going to want to do is eat.  Yes, even candy!
