Halloween ABSURD: Do You Know What a Teal Pumpkin Means?:
Happy Halloween. Do you know what a teal pumpkin means? Here’s a hint: it doesn’t mean you’re gay. But it does mean you are politically correct . . . as far as the food police and peanutzis are concerned. Apparently, teal is the new black. And the new color signifying we’re even more of a nation of wusses than we were last Halloween. Congrats, America.
This Halloween, Food Allergy Research & Education, a national nonprofitgroup, is encouraging communities to put teal-painted pumpkins or free printable signs in their front yards to alert trick-or-treaters they have nonfood offerings in addition to candy. “We’re hoping this becomes a tradition for years to come,” said Veronica LaFemina, FARE’s campaign spokeswoman. The Teal Pumpkin Project is not an effort to scrub Halloween of its traditional candy treats but instead an effort to help kids with food allergies, including those at risk of life-threatening anaphylaxis.
