Introducing… the What to Say Halloween Challenge!
This October, we want to combat diet culture by focusing on the things we love about Halloween! So, we’ve created our first social media challenge of 2022: the What to Say Halloween Challenge. If there’s something you’re doing to enjoy Halloween this year, we want to hear about it! Whether it’s eating your favorite candy or wearing a costume just because you like the character, there are so many things you can do to enjoy this season. Plus, all who join in on the challenge will be entered into a drawing for a fun prize.
Here’s how you can participate:
We’re hosting this challenge on multiple social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram. If you’re on any or all of these platforms, we would love for you to join the Challenge! To participate, all you have to do is share our post, use #WTSHalloweenChallenge, and let us know what ONE thing you’re doing to enjoy Halloween this year. Don’t forget to tag us!

WithAll is committed to helping children and their families navigate healthier discussions about food and body.
That’s why our What to Say initiative created a Halloween Guide featuring these tips, as well as research-backed insights and advice from parenting and nutrition experts who have been in your shoes.
And remember: these principles apply beyond just Halloween! Whether it’s about candy, cake, sugar, or any other food item that can be enjoyed in moderation, the way adults choose to talk to kids or around kids has a real impact – each and every day.
