Why Is It So Many Depictions Of Fairyland Include Candy?????????????????

                          Are the creators trying to turn the nation's children into a generation of diabetics?

                         I wonder.  At the end of "The Nutcracker" ballet, Clara and The Prince fly off to the Land Of Sweets.  "Hansel and Gretel" is practically all about candy.  And so many amusement parks use at least peppermint sticks, or what are more colloquially called candy canes, at some point in their depiction of a fantasy world.

                         Sure, we would all like to fly off to fairyland for a time--what a vacation that would be, darlings! --but what about peaceful gardens with flowing water?

                     Like this!!!!!!!  And just look at that dress, girls!!!!!!!!  If it were by, say Balenciaga, wouldn't that just be fabulous?  Better to wallow in this peacefulness than stuff oneself with sugar and elevate one's blood levels.

                       If one examines the great fairy works of literature, "Peter Pan," "Alice In Wonderland,"

even "The Wizard Of Oz," it is obvious that each author has created their own fairyland.

                       This points out to us mortals that we have to find our own fairyland, wherever that may be.

                        I just don't think it would be in New Jersey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
