Ok...
I remember when my daughter joined the girl scouts how proud I was of her.
She and the other girls got together and did all kinds of kid friendly activities and had tons of fun doing it.
I just read on the net where MeMe Roth is jumping up and down about the evil ways and abuse of the girl scouts selling cookies...
Here's what she said.
This is from the desk of MeMe Roth--National Action Against Obesity..The NAAO.
"Profiting off cookies--it's the wrong message,the wrong product and the wrong era.Let's finally recognize obesity as abuse--abuse of our children,abuse of ourselves--and together take action."
She goes on and on about how the selling of cookies is wrong.
Ok...I don't think buying a few boxes of GS cookies is going to be the end of the World.
Being a diabetic I have to watch my intake of sugar as do people who are not diabetic.
But to this group and others like hers,we are going down the path to obesity thanks to the girl scouts.
I hate it when other people try and tell me what's good for me and what's not.
I read,I listen,I make up my own mind.
I've been wrong a lot of times in my life,but it's my fault,not MeMe or anyone else.
My God..you don't have to eat 37 boxes of sugar snaps...a few cookies now and then ain't gonna kill ya.There is more to life than fruit and veggies.Nothing wrong with fruit and veggies,I eat 'em myself.
Help the girl scouts,buy some cookies.
If you're worried about gettin fat,give 'em to someone else.Let them enjoy a few cookies.
Every thing in moderation...
Just my opinion.
