Trick or Treat: Six Savvy Substitutes to Sweets

Halloween is synonymous with candy but this year you may want to consider changing your treats up a bit. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 12.5 million children and adolescents aged 2-19 are obese. In 2010, not one state had an obesity rate of less than 20%.
