Police Say Children's Candy Was Replaced with Pet Food
The contents of at least two bags of M&M's were apparently removed and replaced with what is believed to be pet food.
The snack pack-sized bags — and their contents — were turned over to New Jersey police and were sent to a state testing lab.
Police said the kids were given the candy, which is manufactured by Mars Inc., while trick-or-treating in Medford, N.J.

Woman "who runs everywhere."
There can't be many people with a smaller carbon footprint than Joan Pick - as she hasn't used any form of motorized transport since 1992. In fact since 1973 the "energy economist" has got almost everywhere by running or walking. The last time she went anywhere by a method other than on foot was when she had to get in a hearse to her mother's funeral. And the only other times in 35 years she has used motorized transport were when she was taken to hospital by ambulance and a handful of train trips to visit her sick mother before she died.
The 67-year-old, from Turnpike Link, East Croydon, admits she is known locally as "the lady who runs everywhere".
Since 1973 she has run or walked approximately 135,415 miles - the equivalent of nearly five-and-a-half times round the world.
