"Girl Scouts have an economic, medical and moral imperative to dump junk food as their $700 million fundraising source….Girl Scout Cookies are high-calorie, high-sugar, high in saturated fat and nearly devoid of nutrition. Using young girls as a front to push millions of cookies onto an already bloated population further exacerbates an alarming [obesity] crisis, no matter how cute the uniforms are."
These words come from MeMe Roth. Of course I had no idea who MeMe Roth is until I was scanning news articles and saw this passage. You see MeMe is against Obesity. She's the president and Founder of the National Action Against Obesity and in fact she seems fanatical about it. So much so that she has this Wedding Gown Challenge thing where she tries to assemble women to Central Park and have them wear the gowns that they were married in.
“Women commit fraud on their wedding days -- they weigh-in for the walk down the aisle with no expectation of maintaining that weight year after year."
Well MeMe, how charming. But you know of all the junk foods she could have targeted she chose Girlscouts. That's pretty low in my opinion. I mean these are kids raising money for a decent reason. Why not attack the junk food kings like Hostess or McDonalds, or hell even Little Debbie contributes to the fat asses of america. Of course I suppose she could make even more of a statement, I bet there is a little calf somewhere that needs to be persecuted because eventually he will grow up to be the big bad hamburger and make people fat.
I've always wanted to put a hit out on the Girlscouts for the sheer pleasure of it but you know the cookies stayed my hand because hell who can resist a carmel coconuty chocolate Samoa. Besides Miss MeMe, not everything is about fat in the cookie line, there are "Thin Mints".
