No More Girl Scout cookies?

Post by valerie »

Heard a report yesterday about concerns over obesity in children and

how Girl Scout cookies were so bad because of the white flour, sugar,

etc. and the usual that we hear... and some are calling for the Girl

Scouts to think of something else to sell besides cookies. Of course

my husband the comedian thought of Girl Scout Broccoli... Nah, don't

think THAT would work! One item suggested yesterday was key chains...



Where oh where are my Thin Mints?!?!?!?

If children were on "balanced" diets, and then had 2 cookies, there would not be so much obesity. People do not feed their children correctly.
Everyone has these on their face? TULIPS.

A world without GIRL SCOUTS cookie is just not an option for me. Since there are nothing but FEMALES in my family.. I have been buying or selling GIRL SCOUTS cookies most of my life.. :D

It's not the COOKIES making our kids over weight.. It bad eating habits.. and lack of exercise.

I grew up never having a potatoe chip, or soda.. parent just couldn't afford it.. We just didn't have any useless snack in the house. Ice cream every now and then was it. With the exception to GIRL SCOUT COOKIES..



SO WHAT IF THEY ARE MADE WITH FLOUR.. FLOUR IS A NATURAL PRODUCT, ALL THESE FAKES ARE FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN NATURAL FLOUR AND SUGAR..IF YOU THINK DRINKING DIET ANY TYPE OF SODA IS GOOD FOR YOU THINK AGAIN.. YOUR BETTER OFF DRINKING THE REGULAR SODAS. :-5
ALOHA!!

MOTTO TO LIVE BY:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming.

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"

They could sell flower seeds in springtime. And give one cookie to everyone who buys some.

It all boils down to a bad diet of bad nutrition. Two wrongs make for obese children.

oh for petes sake! I was a girl scout all the way to CADETS! (I won the top cookie sales girl award one year!)

If parents would send their kids outside to play, instead of sitting in front of video games, maybe kids wouldnt be so obese. You cant blame girlscout cookies for making kids fat. Too many other things contribute to that. Look at all the adults!

Over here in Britain, they dont have girlscout cookies, that I'm aware of. So where did that extra twenty pounds come from, that I put on lately? :eek:

The girl scouts who sell the cookies don't have weight problems do they?

I was only ever a Brownie and the a Sea Cadet but even as a Brownie we were active, running around everywhere.

Youth organisations have been suffering for a while now, they can't compete with TV and video games, there's also the cost of sending children to them, but even that would help with obesity. Also a good few other things that are wrong with the youth of today.
Bad Girls have very high standards, but they love you even if you sometimes fall short.

I have had to say no to Girl Scouts selling their cookies at K-mart. It seems like they could add something like sugar free or fat free cookies for dieters like me. I also felt sorry for the church group selling baked goods at Sam's club this weekend. I overheard them say that they weren't selling too much. If they would have had fruit or small veggie & dip trays, I might have bought one of those. :-6
