No Easter candy in that basket?
You'll want to read Jill Rosen's interesting story today on how parents, scared by the childhood obesity crisis and all the attention to it, are telling the Easter bunny to lay off the candy this year in favor of toys, art supplies and games.
I confess to thinking the same thing as I helped the E.B. stock up this week. Decided on a happy medium. Our kids are generally allowed one piece of candy or so a day anyway, and they still have Halloween candy left over. For them, it's more about counting, sorting and anticipating the candy than it is about eating.

I agree. With our kids it was more about the hunt for the Easter eggs (both real and chocolate) than actually eating any of the finds.
