Outta my way, I’m buyin’ butter cookies!
‘Tis the season for Girl Scout cookies, first trotted out in 1917. I’ve enjoyed them all my life and mean to keep on doing so.
But at the same time, we have “diet-obsessed moms” with “inappropriate comments” hinting at doom and gloom for anyone who eats the cookies (https://nypost.com/2024/01/26/lifestyle/girl-scout-cookie-season-is-here-no-food-shaming-please/).
Duhhh! Hello out there! We are talking about cookies here–as in pleasant little snacks. Not the staff of life. Not necessity.
They nag you about eating cookies, maybe freak kids out for years to come; and at the same time, they want you to be “Proud” of being “Fat-licious.” You can get a college degree in Queer Fat Studies.
Really, you can’t win with Far Left Crazy. You’re damned if you eat, damned if you don’t.
I am in the mood for Girl Scout cookies! And the food nazis, as my mother used to say, can go cly themselves.
What a sorry society we have developed into. Eat ’em up and enjoy.
I live with little sugar in my life, but even I am known to eat some cookies, on occasion. Indeed, sweets are not the best thing for you, but in moderation they will not harm you.
I have another request for a great song: Hope of Glory by Marty Goetz
That’s three hymn requests–I’d better not do them all at once, but I will do them. Thank you, Erlene.
This is a woke organization that I won’t support. Check their LGBQ++ policies and child indoctrination. Quite a separate issue from cookies though.
I have heard about that, but I’ve chosen to keep those issues separate. If they turn into the Lesbian Scouts, they’ll fade away.
We used to look forward to helping the Girl Scouts by buying their cookies, especially from families we knew, but now that the girls have moved on we have noticed the cookies are as good as they used to be.
I sold Girl Scout cookies in the 60s and I was a leader in the 80s. The organization has gone woke, but many of the troops are small and locally run by the parents, so many (especially troops of younger girls) can be good for the girls.
