How could Girl Scout Cookies be a bad thing? With their fresh-faced and smiling sales people, they must be full of goodness, right? Wrong. Unfortunately, something went terribly wrong at the cookie factory since I sold them many years ago.

Today’s Girl Scout Cookies are chock full of…unpronounceables. You know, the processed food-like substances that are cheap to produce and have a shelf life until sometime in the next millenium? My rule of thumb? If you can’t pronounce it, your body won’t know what to do with it, so toss it out.

Sadly, Girl Scout Cookies are just processed crap. Sorry to be so blunt, but it’s the truth.

So, the next time a sweet girl in a green uniform tweaks your heart asking you to buy Girl Scout Cookies, might I suggest making a donation instead? If enough people do this, perhaps Girl Scouts of America will get the idea and take a stand for whole food, wholesome ingredients - the kind you would use if you were a girl scout baking cookies to earn a merit badge.
