The theologian in me knows that food has no inherent moral categories; that it is neither good nor evil, it just is what it is. In this case it is sugar, corn syrup, and honey. Candy corn wouldn't be considered evil if I ate just a few at a time and they lasted a week, but that never happens with this once a year treat. Rich says that candy has its benefits, the main one being emotional.
