First they came for my Samoas.
Next it was Thin Mints….

Girl Scouts cut trans fats from cookies
The Girl Scouts have marked their 90th year in the cookie business by getting most of the artificial fat out of all varieties of their iconic treats, which had been under attack by a few health-focused consumer groups.
The change reflects a movement by the scouts in recent years to add an element of health consciousness to their annual bake sale.

This year, about half of all Girl Scout troops are also offering a sugar-free cookie called the Little Brownie. A cookie with reduced saturated fat, the Cartwheel, was also introduced last year

I will go on the record right now: Just keep your hands off my Toll House Chocolate Chips. Those you will have to pry from my cold, dead hands!
