Streetalk: Aren’t your cookies making people fat?
It would help if you got some exercise.
Sarah: Girl Scouts are very conscious of what they eat and what they tell people to eat. Girl Scouts are honest. Would we tell you to eat Girl Scout cookies and tell you theyre healthy if they werent? You can even buy them sugar free and they actually have zero trans fat now. Theyre making a lot of changes so that Girl Scout cookies are healthy and have healthy ingredients like peanuts and coconuts. Girl Scouts are honest. And Girl Scout cookies are better and youre supporting a good cause. Id like to be a sales person or president when I grow up.
Anna: No. They have no trans fat in them. If you eat all the Girl Scout cookies in the world youre going to get fat, but if you eat one or two a day youre not going to get fat. And if you actually dont want to eat any, you can donate money. My brother eats a lot of them, but hes smart to realize that if he eats the whole thing hes going to get fat. He uses common sense, and other people do too. Maybe you dont use common sense. Dont eat the whole box.
Kaylin: Im sure if they werent eating Girl Scout cookies they would be eating something else because people are always eating. If other people are selling stuff that people are going to eat, why cant we? Some people just sell things that make people fat. We sell things that dont make people that fat, but we also use the money to support our programs. As long as you dont eat a whole box in a short amount of time, youll be fine. And it would also help if you exercise.
