This article caught my attn. with the thread batgirl had started on them. I hadn't heard of this movement and was curious what everyone felt about it. http://www.forkandbottle.com/rants/food/girlscout_cookies.htm The second link is just to show the concern is being addressed. http://www.girlscoutspc.org/news/news_view.php?id=37
Can't.......say.......nooooo...... The cookies call my name.......must have cookie. Thanks for starting this thread. After reading your post I started craving Tagalongs and shoved half a box down my piehole. I will be sending you my medical bills from my trans fat exposure
I can't wait for the Girl Scouts to go out in front of the Union. I have a hankering for some Samoas, God's cookie gift to earth.
they don't have transfat. And it's a good thing, since we bought six boxes of them today. I like the Samoans (aka some other new stupid name for them now) and limit myself to 4 in one sitting. And no, I haven't figured out a rule as to how frequently I can have sittings. But if I'm drinking beer, I lose all interest in cookies.
What are trans fats? Are they bad? I'm pretty sure I've been ingesting them for nearly 58 years. I once deep fried a pork roast in the rendering from a batch of cracklins? Would that contain trans fats?
I didn't know either when I saw that story but I found this which explains the hoopla. http://www.umm.edu/features/transfats.html
whats odd is ive been sick the last few days and i just got my appetite back. the only thing ive eaten in the past few days are those damn mint cookies. ive lost 5 lbs. trust me, they taste way better than a salad. which reminds me, instead of cheese i may grind up some thin mints on my salad next time... the govt it trying to screw with your brains. say yes to the cookies! :yelwink2:
