Halloween - a time for healthy habits? Or letting loose?

Halloween is a frightening time of year -- and I'm not just talking ghouls, ghosts and goblins here. No, even more frightening is the thousands of potential empty calories lurking inside tiny, irresistible, snack-sized candy wrappers scattered throughout your house. Oh, the horrors!

For obvious reasons, Halloween is not the optimal time to be dieting but if you stick to your guns, you can have a healthy Halloween. So last week, I asked you if you were going to try to have a healthy Halloween, and here's what you had to say:

• 43% of you said no way -- it's only once a year, so why bother?
• 21% of you are avoiding all candy -- good for you!
• 16% of you are boycotting the whole thing. Fair enough.
  
• 7% of you are rationing candy to your kids.
  
• 5% of you planned on giving out healthy treats instead of the usual sugar-filled junk.
