[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also if I am trashing it because I think it's unhealthy, it feels wrong to donate it. [/quote]

Oh please, now you are regulating other people's diets? If it is donated it might go to a safe house or orphanage, or overseas or Good will or who knows where. Now being divided between many, many people. They might end up at Second Harvest from retailers, or American Pantry or Operation Troop Treats, Operation Gratitude, divided among many, many people and kids. But, you keep on knowing what is best for a kid or a soldier overseas. On top of it, candy lasts over 11 months, so plenty can be saved to fill stockings or give it as presents to your kids friends. But, you keep an eye on all the kids around the world health! My mom is overweight, and buys candy for my teens and sends it from Europe so they can have treats here that they like. It would break her heart if I told her I threw it away, nor would I ever do such a nasty thing. My kids know full well it is an act of love and are far from eating it all in one hour. My US FIL takes my kids to bakeries and buys them treats, DD lets him and indulges him and she clearly says, he is happy doing it so I play along. She never eats all that he buys, it happens couple of times per year, no harm in it at all.[/quote]
