Should children trick or treating to be given fruit instead of sweets?

Happy Halloween! It's a celebration that is loved by many - but others aren't as excited by the annual event. For some, it's a chance to dress up in scary costumes and indulge in copious amounts of sweets collected from the popular Halloween custom of trick-or-treating. But should we give trick or treating children fruit- rather than sweets? After all, the tradition of giving kids a bucketful of sweets every Halloween can't be helping the obesity problem... or is the very thought just spoiling the fun?
