DateLine: Sunday, September 1, 2019 - The Day of The Numerical Palindrome
Needless to say, this is a loaded Topic that sounds insulting but it makes many of us (who may have been from 5 to 500 pounds overweight ( during The Course of our Life Times) seething mad.
Why?
Because it is sabotaging One Group: The Eaters from the Greedy Capitalists who are making a Great Deal of Money from their Hunger & Thirst of ATC: All Things Chocolate & ATH: All Things Halloween.
LET ME EXPLAIN:
While recently shopping at Two (2) Grocery Stores, to my Amazement & Shock, I saw that Halloween of 2019 had not arrived in late late late September (or October when it rightfully should) but about Ten (10) days before Labor Day was due in: The First Week of September. I was mortified. As a Sociology Major & Branding Expert for 40 Years as of Today:
September 1, 1979 ~ September 1, 2019
when I began my PRAM: Public Relations ~ Advertising ~ Marketing Firm, I learned to analyze Branding Strategies as to why Actions & Events happen as they do.
🎃🎃🎃 🎃🎃🎃
Halloween is The End of October. Every year since 2000, it has been creeping closer and closer and closer to November so that the entire year is blanketed in Orange & Black, Pumpkins, Witches & Things that go BUMP in the Middle of The Night as you edge your way to the Candy Bin.
Before you know it, the entire YEAR will be saturated in ghoulsome Aspects of Life & Candy, which is to be considered a Treat given-out to all the Good Girls & Boys who do not tee-pee a neighbor's houe or toss rotten eggs at windows, get a Piece of Candy. However, that Aspect of what Halloween in the Good Old Days symbolized is forever gone.
WITH Halloween CANDY BUYING starting on or near August 20 (when Stores of all sizes start stocking their Shelves), this allows 41 extra Days (until October 1st) to be used to sell more CANDY, packing on Calories & Pounds to those who buy it; to those who just happen to now haVe it in The House early.
IF THE TEMPTATION IS THERE...
You know darn well that Candy never lasts in a Person's Kitchen. Even if it's well-hidden, there's bound to be a decadent Chocolate Bar Thief in the Vicinity who will wipe-out 'The Stash.' Therefore, MORE will have to be bought; consumed; bought and then the vicious Cycle begins its maddening Way of eating away at your Health. After all, your Heart is the size of your Fist. Can you really carry around all that extra Weight, besides having your Teeth rot out. Only your Dentist is happy about that...
What does this mean to America & Americans who celebrate Halloween and look forward to this Holiday that is now being manipulated by American Greed? To the Candy Manufacturers & Lobbyists, they will have their Biggest Year yet and will probably outdo (Sales wise) Candy Sales even for Christmas & Valentine's Day when the Numbers are tabulated at the End of 2019 - early Part of January, 2020. A New Beginning when many's Dreams will be squelched by the Aches & Pains that CANDY-itis brings.
However, for those People and many are Children (who have not perfected a Value System yet) but know where their Parent's Credit Cards are), they will eat themselves into a Chocolate Coma ~ #ChocolateComa - that began far too early. Halloween will not be that happy or celebrated as an Event since it is stretched out over an additional 41 Days. This could rightfully net them an additional $2 billion dollars in profit at the Expense of a Gullible Population. The FUN that packs the most PUNCH is that when The Date is anticipated; not gluttonized by Corporate America wanting to nail those NUTS who are gullible enough to buy into their Anti People's Health Practices.
Diabetes will increase.
Morbid Obesity wil kill as many People as the Toddling Suicide Rate and for the likes of me & others who see this endless Funnel cascading down on a Legion of Folks (our parents - relatives - neighbors - bosses and possibly selves) who just cannot
SAY NO!
to just one more Tidbit, the Funeral Directors will not be quitting their Day Jobs any time too soon.
Is this a Conspiracy or just a polished Marketing Ploy? You decide. I've already made up my Mind. When it is no longer a Treat, it's a Trick covered in saturated Avarice. Look that up. It means: Greed...any way you slice and dice it.
May The Force be with you...
MORAL: Think about this. You know this is true.

I make sure to give out healthy bars, the bars that either have fiber or an acceptable ratio of protein to sugar.
I think the buying season is getting earlier and earlier as a way to lower costs to the supermarkets and other chains by offering better in exchange for longer shelf time. Just a theory on my part.
At least kids get some exercise on Halloween!
