Yeah, right. I'm going to scowl down at some little Brownie and say I'm not buying her fatty cookies because she's the sole reason orangutans are homeless and the prime cause of overweight America.
Maybe I should hit her with a water balloon, too. No, I think I'll live a while longer and keep on buying cookies from the never-ending legions of nieces. |

I loved Girl Scout's cookie. I glad I don't eat these cookies by Girl Scouts anymore, because I moved to my apartment.
 Yet, I will l miss Girl's Scout cookies. Oh well.

Trans fat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Trans fat is the common name for a type of unsaturated fat with trans- isomer fatty acid(s). Trans fats may be monounsaturated or polyunsaturated. Most trans fats consumed today are industrially created by partially hydrogenating plant oils — a process developed in the early 1900s and first commercialized as Crisco in 1911. The goal of partial hydrogenation is to add hydrogen atoms to unsaturated fats, making them more saturated. These more saturated fats have a higher melting point, which makes them attractive for baking and extends their shelf-life. Another particular class of trans fats, vaccenic acid, occurs naturally in trace amounts in meat and dairy products from ruminants. Unlike other dietary fats, trans fats are neither essential nor salubrious[1] and, in fact, the consumption of trans fats increases one's risk of coronary heart disease[2] by raising levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol and lowering levels of "good" HDL cholesterol. [3] Health authorities worldwide recommend that consumption of trans fat be reduced to trace amounts. Trans fats from partially hydrogenated oils are more deleterious than naturally occurring oils.[4] Chemically, trans fats are made of the same building blocks as non-trans fats, but have a different arrangement. In trans fatty acid molecules, the hydrogen atoms bonded to pairs of doubly bonded carbon atoms (characteristic of all unsaturated fats) are in the trans rather than the cis arrangement. This results in a straight, rather than kinked, shape for the carbon chain, more like the straight chain of a fully saturated fat.

Are you all panic about fat in Scout Cookies?? Some of them have low fat and sugar free. You need to read the nutrition fact to give you a limit on serving. If you don't want to eat whole of cookies. You can share with your family and children to eat a limit on cookies.
Me and my husband love to eat Scout Cookies. I have to be careful with nutrition facts. My husband like to eat whole of it. I won't let him to eat a piggy out. LOL I hide it from him. He will not find it.

Diabetes is genetic (both types). It is not brought on by eating too much sugar. Eating too much sugar causes obesity.
Reference: Can too much sugar cause diabetes? A recent study has found that fake sugar (or "sugar free") has been found to cause weight gain. (Apparently, our bodies' metabolism do not process fake sugar as well as natural sugar.) Reference: Fake Sugar Could Make You Fat | Wired Science from Wired.com Step back from the Samoas and nobody gets hurt.

From the health perspective, sure, Girl Scout cookies aren't "health" foods. So? If people eat just a few as a dessert treat, along with daily good nutrition, then it's not so big a deal. No one buys cookies expecting to use them for their daily nutrition needs.
If they buy cookies and eat a box full every day, then they have a problem. But most people don't do that. |

We need to get back to the basics. At one time they used simple receipes and young girls made cookies themselves. This is what I found from the Girl Scout website: Girl Scout Cookie® History: Early Years
Quote: In the 1920s and 1930s, Girl Scouts in different parts of the country continued to bake their own simple sugar cookies with their mothers. These cookies were packaged in wax paper bags, sealed with a sticker, and sold door to door for 25 to 35 cents per dozen. AN EARLY GIRL SCOUT COOKIE® RECIPE 1 cup butter 1 cup sugar plus additional amount for topping (optional) 2 eggs 2 tablespoons milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder Cream butter and the cup of sugar; add well-beaten eggs, then milk, vanilla, flour, salt, and baking powder. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Roll dough, cut into trefoil shapes, and sprinkle sugar on top, if desired. Bake in a quick oven (375°) for approximately 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges begin to brown. Makes six- to seven-dozen cookies. End of Quote. Cookies anyone? |

 We can only buy Girl Scout cookies once a year, so I'm not so worried about the fat grams.

The Girl Scout cookies were excellent qualities in the old days.
Now, the ingredients are bad even you do not know the different taste between now and the old days. In the old days, the Girl Scout company was serious and cared about the quality. The cookies that you bought from the scout are really crappy because you didn't know the difference. If you still love the cookies, then just buy them. In fact, organic cookies are better or bakery shops makes fresh cookies. That would even better than the Girl Scout cheap cookies. Unless the Girl Scout Company accepts to change back to the old ingredients, then it would be great. Oh well, I just wanted to let you know about it. |

Unfortunately, the wholesome benefit of eating organic does not extend to the wallet's health.
If growers are passionate about organic food, why does the passion not spill over onto the sticker price? Girl Scouts Cookies is an annual fundraiser. They're made with low costs in mind with a great return/profit. It goes to a good thing and, perhaps, the Girl Scouts can become "Wonder Women" in the "greening" of our planet?

 Anyone have any idea what the profit margin is? I know that the headquarters for GS takes the vast majority of the sales (the pimp mommas) and, last I heard, local clubs get piddly crumbs on the dollar for funds. I believe that the amount a club gets is actually less than five cents on the dollar, if even that. I could be wrong, but I did hear the report about it years ago.
