But I do thing a that Girl Scouts are kind of famous for their cookies. But I also think they they could use better ingredients. I have proof in my kitchen. One baker uses HFCS and the other one doesn’t. Although I am not going to get into the “inverted surgar” that is used instead, but it is not HFCS.

I think that is very kind of you to give them a donation anyway.

Thanks for the comment!

I know it’s mean, but when those Girl Scouts come after me outside the store, I tell them to tell the higher ups to offer something more nutritious and I’ll consider making a purchase. And then I give them a cash donation.

I’d already bought four which have been eaten (not by me…but only because I wasn’t quick enought!)…I’m with the hubby on this one. I didn’t look at the ingredients, in fact I wan’t even going to buy more, but my hubby sent me back to the stand to buy them for him!

Some are better than other in the ingredients they use. I think it would help the health of our nation and our Girl Scouts if we “required” the Girl Scout Oranization to utilize bakeries that didn’t use TRANS FAT and HFCS.

Thank you so much for bringing a hint of humor to a very sad and serious situation.

With that said, I honestly did not read the box of cookies to see if it had anything in it. I used math and statistics as I do with all key decisions such as cookie buying. I will break down this math for you all.

cookies=good
girl scout support=good
girl scout non-support=broken legs (those girl scout sales reps are TOUGH)
and finally any reference to the math equation of cookies=bad ? Well I’m sorry. That’s not something I’ll contemplate because a world with bad cookies is a world not worth anything. So it’s a great thing to see that an organization such as the Girl Scouts have once again saved the planet.

Go thank a Girl Scout (and help save Earth) by buying some cookies next year.
