The Girl Scouts May Give Up Selling Cookies, as Cookies are Contrary to Optimal Public Health Messaging
— Ace

First world problems.

I don't have any problem with the Girl Scouts ending the cookie sales because I'm not quite sure why they're selling cookies in the first place. Oh sure, I know it's for fundraising, and I've had to do that for teams myself.

And I always hated it. It's a scam, isn't it? Well, the overpriced candy bars are a scam. The Girl Scout cookies are almost a deal.

Still, it's weird to have kids out there selling candy to adult stranger. Reverse this transaction and you have grounds for arrest.

But that's not why the tradition is being reconsidered, of course. It's being reconsidered because of Concern.

I've really had it up to my neck with the Concern Pageant this whole f***ing country has become.

Human beings have an intense desire to compete, and a desire to feel like they're the best at something.

I get that.

But I am sick of these loser motherf***ers who are not good at anything so they've decided that the field they'll compete on is the field of Concern.

And they'll Out-Concern everyone else. And if a challenger arises, someone who's really a Natural at Being Concerned About Bullshit, why, they'll just run Concern Windsprints until dawn and drink Concern Energy Drinks until they're better at Concern than that young upstart, too.

Can we just give these people Participation Medals? Will that satisfy their urge to compete in the Olympics of Microaggressions?

Their Cookie Sale was boycotted...because of their links to Planned Parenthood and the Girl Scout's endorsement of Abortion Barbie.

 

Their cookie sales were way down this year as a result.

21 yeah well fuck em. girls scouts were always a pale imitation of the boy scouts anyway. If I were in the Boy Scouts I would say fuck girl scouts, if you are not selling cookies we are. sell every cookie they ever sold. it is not as if Boy Scouts have anything to lose, anyone who would hate em for selling the girl scouts cookies hates em already.

22 One time I had to sell these big Krackle bars for $1 each to raise money for an orchestra trip. I sold like 4 boxes, 60 candy bars per box. It was a good thing I had a paper route because I was able to sell a few to my subscribers and it payed for the three boxes I bought for myself.

23 The excessively overpaid Girl Scout leadership has sold off most of the organization's camps and property assets so they could sustain their bloated payroll and bonus compensation structure. It'll be interesting to see how they can continue to survive when they get rid of their largest source of independent revenue.

Perhaps Obama will throw them some jobs stimulus money or something. I'm sure they can 'save' jobs as well as any green energy swindle.

Posted by: artisanal 'ette at April 01, 2014 04:25 PM (IXrOn)

28 FWIW, I'm to understand that the local troops don't get a whole lot of the cookie money (dough) as it were. So it may be that they're trying to separate from that. But I honestly don't know. When I was in boy scouts we used to sell popcorn. Eventually the troop instituted a "buy out" option, and not unsurprisingly a ton of people too it. My parents had an interesting take, they always said "it's not other people's jobs to overpay for a product to fund activities we let you do." (That being said, it was good popcorn, and we'd always buy a tin, but no where near enough to avoid the buyout.) When I started making money cutting laws (and eventually at McD's) I was then responsible for my own buyout. Which was fine, I made more at McD's in a weekend than the cost of the buyout and it'd have taken me a lot longer to sell that much popcorn .

34 When the GS decides to become the Girls Scouts of Old, you know, the ones who taught camping skills along with some good Character Skills, and stayed as far away from politics (particularly the Abortion Issue), then I'll consider giving them some money. But not before. They set up some tables in front of the grocery store I frequent a couple of weeks ago. I really wanted one of the adults to say something to me about buying their cookies. I really did. Not that I'da lit into her or anything, but I certainly would've let her know in no uncertain terms that I didn't appreciate what they've become.

36 "2 Their Cookie Sale was boycotted...because of their links to Planned Parenthood and the Girl Scout's endorsement of Abortion Barbie. Their cookie sales were way down this year as a result." Yes, because any organization that isn't explicitly conservative becomes liberal. The girl scouts have become absolutely loathsome. That said, let them keep their cookies. The food nannying has gotten out of hand. So sad that my children will never know the wonder of those 3 Ronald McDonald cookies that used to come in each happy meal. 1

38 As far as the cookie sales go, I saw them outside Walmart several times and they always had adult supervision.

Posted by: Dack Thrombosis at April 01, 2014 04:27 PM (oFCZn)

39 Good post, I can't really disagree with you, Ace. I think we are at that point because of the hysteric left - the Frankfurt School deconstructionists taken at their blurred and barely coherent word by frickin' hippies who smugly and stridently bash any- and every-thing that even remotely references nuclear-family values because "repression" and of course, "sexless". So boy scouts must change, girl scouts must be made into little socialist protest sign-waving mini-hags, and everyone must reflexively harangue anyone who is normal because heteronormative and sexless and repression and badthoughts. I hate hippies and I blame them for this.

Their popcorn sucks.  From 17 years experience with two sons in the program.

Cookies, at the same price, would sell themselves.

But then the liberals and the media (BIRM) would have another reason to hate the BSA.

49 So...having followed all the links. I think there's nothing here. This is just eh media reporting on itself. NPR does a story on fats, someone in the Denver Post write an Op-Ed that says we should stop selling girlscout cookies, NPR does a story about that, and eventually Althouse says "looks they're considering it." Not really. This is just blabbering by talking heads.

51 Okay, this hit a hot button of mine -- not specifically the Girl Scouts, though. Any group that accosts me on the way in or out of a store, for any cause whatsoever, gets my dander up. I don't like shopping to start with, and anybody who gets in my face asking for money or wanting me to buy something will most definitely get neither a sale, a donation, or courtesy. With one exception, that being the Salvation Army around Christmas. They, for some reason I don't understand, make me happy rather than irritated, and I usually do give something.

73 About a million years ago, when I was a kid, my mother was a Girl Scout Cookie Captain. During the consolidated cookie pusher season, our dining room was FILLED with GS cookies. And this was in the early '60's, when you really got a lot of thin mints in a box. What the Girl Scouts have become is kind of strange, and probably a prelude to what the Boy Scouts will probably be like in another generation. As somebody said, they are working hard to erase the past. Funding? There's always the United Way.

75 Michelle's "Let's Move" didn't move the needle.  The NFL's "Play 60" didn't move the needle.  Maybe this whole thing is a little bigger than some gimmicks.

Has ANYONE come up with a good reason for all the fatties in America as opposed to say, the 1950s?  I don't think it's McDonald's.  I also think "In my day kids played outside" is too simplistic.  Do you know how many calories a kid burns in an hour of playing outside?  Probably about as many as you'd find in a cookie.

Is it all the wheat flour in everything?  Is it because we replaced fat with carbs for flavor?  I don't know.

Nutrition Science seems to be more driven by fads than by science.  How many times has the China Study been debunked, yet people still quote from it religiously.  Just recently a metastudy said fats are A-OK after decades of saying avoid all fats.

I think it was like a limiting principle. If I only buy a this during popcorn time, the house isn't loaded with high calorie popcorn treats that are cheaper (we'd hardly ever similar products in the grocery store.) Eh, my family is weird.

126 75 One theory I like is fructose. Not just High Fructose Corn syrup, but the amount of juice and dried fruit. People drink a lot more juice than they used to. Fructose Iis processed differently than other sugars and can (in certain susceptible people) lead very quickly to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Really weird stuff. Exercise is important for reasons besides calories burned---cortisol messes with metabolism, and kids who don't play and exercise enough have higher levels of cortisol. Sleep is also a big deal with regard to cortisol---is it possible that kids who didn't have the glowing tv/computer/phone screen around simply got better sleep, and thus had better metabolism? Other than that, carbs replacing fat.

Posted by: Michelle Obama at April 01, 2014 04:42 PM (WX3R9)

130 Yeah, almost the only year IN MY LIFE I didn't buy GS cookies. When my oldest son was in Cub Scouts, they sold the Popcorn. My wife was a Popkorn Kernel (colonel?) one season, organizing the sales, distribution, etc. When he was later in Boy Scouts, his troop's big fundraiser for the year was selling pumpkins in October for Halloween. Fun for a while, but really a pain in the ass. The success of all these sorts of things is built on the backs of a handful of adults (parents) who work endless hours to make it work. If they can destroy the morale of the adults, then all these organizations fall apart. Don't know what that means, but I think that the State always wants to be first in the hearts of all the people.

136
Has ANYONE come up with a good reason for all the fatties in America as opposed to say, the 1950s? I don't think it's McDonald's. I also think "In my day kids played outside" is too simplistic. Do you know how many calories a kid burns in an hour of playing outside? Probably about as many as you'd find in a cookie.


A little from column A, a little from column B.  Kids aren't moving around nearly as much as in the past, where you could spend all day running around the neighborhood.  Combine that with the increased use of carbs to replace fats which screws with a lot of peoples' metabolisms.  I'd also add that better nutrition means that we don't see nearly the cases of malnutrition and better drugs means a lot few diseases or parasites that would have affected growth in the past.

Saying "well it's varying amounts of these 20 factors" doesn't sell as well. They say the same thing about cancer. We can't "cure cancer" it's basically hundreds of diseases with hundreds of causes. But good luck selling that to funding agencies. So the scientists over simplify it.

The Girl Scouts lost money this year...on their cookie sales.

Some of the councils lost as much as $30,000.00.

 

Each council has to pre-order how many cases of cookies they plan to sell.

Sales were down as much as 75% in some places.

266 In re Girl Scouts and cookie sales:

I keep talking up zombie's work, it seems, and that's because it's flipping brilliant and absolutely laser-accurate.

Obama came to the SF Bay Area to do fundraising, and he stopped off in the heart of incredibly rich, lily-white techyuppie paradise, Palo Alto. A clean tree-lined pleasant piece of suburbia where a basic starter home in need of renovation can be yours for a trifling four million bucks.

Our intrepid zombie showed up to covertly document the whole thing. And caught, among other telling bits, a couple of young girls from the community who had set up a streetcorner lemonade stand. Awwwwwww. Heartwarming.

Except that elsewhere in Obama's America these days, girls who set up a streetcorner lemonade stand, who don't have parents who are multizillionaire tech execs with massive political clout, are as likely as not to have the local government come down on them with the million pound shithammer of cease-and-desist. No business permit? No health inspections? Knock that off right now, or else, kid!

It tells you something important when traditional innocent American activities such as this get relegated to small, extremely affluent communities that exist in a separate bubble reality from how things actually now work in the rest of the country.

279 What's $2.7B -- don't you care about children? Reason on the Regs: http://bit.ly/1glLW8D Just how devastating are these types of crashes? The NHTSA, which operates under the Department of Transportation, tallies 210 fatalities and 15,000 injuries every year. Each one of these incidents is tragic, but for a federal authority to issue broad regulations seems a little arbitrary, since about twice as many Americans die falling out of bed each year and four times as many die falling off household furniture. And America's war with lounging devices doesn't even scratch the surface of the top causes of death. The administration predicts that the rearview camera rule will virtually wipe out the number of backover fatalities. In fact, official estimates say there will be only 13-15 deaths annually once the cameras become universal. They don't anticipate that to be reality for a few more generations of drivers, though. Phasing out cars without cameras is estimated to take until 2054 (at which point, presumably, the NHTSA will be struggling to regulate flying cars, or at least self-driving ones.) Although the report claims that forcing the hand of manufacturers and consumers won't cost much, the rule has already been delayed several times, most notably in 2012 when Transportation Department Secretary Ray LaHood voiced skepticism of the requirement and House Republicans sent a letter to President Obama noting that at an estimated $2.7 billion, it was "one of the five most expensive pending U.S. regulations."

282 My sweet wife won't let me v buy or eat a Girl Scout cookie--I love her but she's a Moochelle food Nazi when it comes to cookies. But I'll give a Girl Scout mother (not the daughter actually flogging the cookies) $15 or $25 as a "contribution" to their kid's troop, And as I'm getting older those Girl Scout mothers are looking ever better. Might have to see if I can promote something with one of them.

The sentiment was echoed by Diane Hartman, a writer and editor in Denver, who penned an indignant in the Denver Post, "Why are we letting Girl Scouts sell these fattening cookies?"

"We've all heard about climate change and it's hard to dispute it, no matter how it came about. Some people think humans should try to change the scary course of the world. One idea is to use energy-efficient light bulbs. How hard would it be for the squads of energetic, idealistic Girl Scouts to switch from cookies to light bulbs that are good for our planet? They could even get an education about what's going on in our world and what can be done to help. How wonderful for them to join the growing number of people trying to save the planet, for those who will come after us."

Eventually the Allies out bid the Central Powers and Romania was at war. Just prior to their first (and last) campaign, the army was embroiled in a great controversy, which soldiers could and which could not wear makeup. If I recall correctly, it was eventually decided that majors and above could wear makeup. They were slaughtered but at least the officers could wear makeup so they left good looking corpses. We are nearly there.

think "In my day kids played outside" is too simplistic. Do you know how
many calories a kid burns in an hour of playing outside? Probably about
as many as you'd find in a cookie.

Nope. When I was 18, I wouldn't look at women younger than their late 20s.

Because the absolutely overwhelming majority of women close to my own age were complete airheads. Offputtingly so.

Many of the twentysomethings and thirtysomethings were airheads too, of course. Just not as many as in my teen cohort.

448 Cannon allegedly boasted to the undercover agents about an upcoming trip to Washington during a meeting in the mayor’s office. He said he would use his clout to push for Charlotte streetcar funding. “So, you know, Friday I’m meeting with the President,” he said. “The President will be asking what my priorities are. I’m gonna say the Gold Lynx Line’s a priority and I want to see that through.” “Damn,” the agent responded. “I’m just proud, and, uh, grateful to uh, have you as a friend.” A White House spokesman declined to comment Wednesday, citing the ongoing investigation. But a White House official said they were unaware of the FBI investigation at the time of Cannon’s visit to the White House in December 2013.

Absolutely fuckin' horrifying.  The last one they had, they were all, we don't need your help.  They might need it this time.  Last time we all sat here on this blog and ran with ncj as he got his goofy motorcycles (and the fam) to higher ground, but nothing came to Hawaii.  This time, I think it's gonna be different.  Of course, the guys over at the pub were all, "big waves coming."  They're surfers, bless their hearts.

Anyhow, I'm doubtful that she think all that much about the current organization. I do recall that at least half of the girls that I was around as a kid were active Girl Scouts. Geeze..., are the Brownies still alive? I wonder also about the Campfire Girls..., which were founded by Dan Beard. Still out there?

510 Hundreds of earthquakes have shaken Chile's far-northern coast in the past two weeks, keeping people on edge as scientists said there was no way to tell if the unusual string of tremors was a harbinger of an impending disaster. The unnerving activity began with a strong magnitude-6.7 quake on March 16 that caused more than 100,000 people to briefly evacuate low-lying areas, although no tsunami materialized and there was little physical damage from the shaking. --- jeebus be careful CA

538 Great, Another Upper Income White Woman Crusade: The Girl Scouts May Give Up Selling Cookies, as Cookies are Contrary to Optimal Public Health Messaging

I don't know about that headline. The may stop selling cookies? Says who? Ace links to Althouse, who doesn't take a position, but sticks up a poll. Althouse gets it from NPR. NPR, predictably, waves their hands around and frets over the issue. They quote some doctor/blogger who disapproves, as well as some journalists who disapprove. They finally get around to talking to someone from the Girls Scouts organization:

"Girl Scout cookies are sold for a short time each year," Girl Scouts of the USA's chief communications officer, Kelly Parisi, tells The Salt in an email. "As such, Girl Scout cookies are considered a snack treat and are intended to be enjoyed in moderation."

NPR follows that up by fretting some more and quoting a "passionate anti-sugar crusader and pediatric endocrinologist at the University of California, San Francisco".

So, no, there is no move afoot to end the practice if Girl Scouts selling cookies, at least not where it matters, in the Girls Scouts organization.

Linkbait, I believe the term is.

thanks, thunderb.  I can see the Pacific from my kitchen/yard, but it's a few miles away.  Think I'm fairly prepared for The Big One should it hit here, but of course also 90% confident that most of my neighbors are NOT prepared, which pretty much cancels out all my preparedness (what?  you're going to not share your bottled water with the 83-yr old neighbor you've known since elementary school, or the cute little blonde girls and their parents next door?).

 

Wonder if the CA budget would still be in "surplus" after quakes leveled all the major cities.  With today's "accounting", it's a distinct possibility.  So there's that.

peaches, good choice with Salvation Army.  True charity, minimal overhead, dedicated people.  The real deal (not that there are not other good operations, but SA is pretty close to ideal).  Was fortunate to channel a modest amount of all y'all's money through them a few years back, overseas.  I still recall the proposal meetings - they were nice, modest, and their budgets were hilariously small for the work and impact they provided.

612 There are earthquakes in Yellowstone every week. The one that they are referring to was barely felt and did NO damage. If animals are leaving, and I seriously doubt they are, it's because they're migrating to lower ground looking for something to eat. You see folks, the mountainous areas of Montana and Wyoming are buried under snow. Kinda hard for elk and buffalo to eat snow and survive. My guess the story originated with the loons that hang out at the Northern Entrance to the park and harass anyone one involved in bison mgmt. Those assholes smoke dope all day long, have no visible means of support, and are pissing a lot of people off. In other words they're eco-fucking libtards.

620 Upthread, someone asked about why kids are so fat today, when they weren't in the 50s. The answer is no more complicated than they eat too much calorie dense food and exercise too little. Yes, portion sizes have gotten bigger at home and at restaurants, both fast food and chain restaurants. Dishware has enlarged in proportion to serving sizes. Take a look at grandma's dishes..the dinner plates are the size of today's luncheon plates. Coffee cups actually used to hold a cup of coffee, now they hold two to two and a half because they are mugs, not cups. Weight Watchers points this out immediately on your first meeting and join up. They normally have portion equivalents that one can use as mental images when eating out. A serving of meat is the size of a deck of cards. An ounce of cheese is the size of the end knuckle of your thumb. The first time you sit down to a measured meal according to weight watchers, it looks like there is nothing there. After eating according to WW for a while, when you do go to a restaurant, you will immediately put half of your dinner in a to go box so that you can enjoy a normal portion and not be tempted. Bread slices are 1/3 larger than they used to be. Bun sizes at McDonalds are twice what they originally were sized. When McDonalds was first opened, the menu consisted of a hamburger, a cheeseburger, a four oz. serving of fries, and a small choc or vanilla shake. Compare that to what they serve today and what people order today, to eat while they are driving(which no one used to do). Restaurant chains portions are three to four times what a normal serving used to be. And people eat out as substitutes for eating meals at home much more today than anyone ever dreamed in the 50s. So everyone's calorie intake is much higher today, including kids(who rarely went to a restaurant until they were teenagers in the 50-60s.). Even the selection at grocery stores is three or four times what it used to be. I remember when there used to be Lorna Dunes, Oreos, Sunshine choc cookies, and Archway sugar cookies. Chips Ahoy, and possibly one or two other cookie selections. My current grocery store has one entire aisle side dedicated to cookies and crackers today.

621 I make my own Samoa-ish cookies now by taking the basic magic bar recipe and drizzling melted Kraft caramels over them. Guhhhhhh....(Homer drooling sound) I am doing those, lemon pecan thingies (learnt of here at the good ole AoSHQ, except I like lemon better than orange), and maple pecan cookies for Easter. All pecan, all the time, apparently. And lamb cake.

622 Doesn't it always seem that the Left is looking to make people's lives as miserable as possible?

623 Girl Scout cookies are the fucking best! I love Samoas, Mint Thins and Dosidos. Gonna try to score some online.

624 I used to eat a lot of GS cookies, but gave them up some 20-odd years ago when the organization went all commie-feminist.

625 Get angry Ace, get very angry. It clarifies...

626 I'll believe that when it happens. Girl Scout cookies are an industry. A lot of people would be out of jobs if they just gave it up. And nobody is going to donate that kind of money out of the goodness of their hearts. They would be absolute morons to go through with that.

627 I don't care. I'm boycotting Feminazi Youth cookies anyway.

628 "But I am sick of these loser motherf***ers who are not good at anything so they've decided that the field they'll compete on is the field of Concern."

But... but, what will all those college graduates with "studies" degrees do, Ace?

629 Did kid yourself. If they give it up, it's because of the massive loss they took this year due to the boycott. That reason alone. This is just cover.

630 The Girl Scouts are dead to me...since they dropped the Lemon Creme cookies.

631 There's always the United Way.

That's an organization which needs to be subjected to Exterminatus.

632 I am a long-time Republican, but I'm concerned that we're not giving enough of our money away in taxes to other people, nor are we eating enough raw foods, staying away from meat, supporting Obama, or smoking enough pot.

That's just this one Republican's viewpoint.  Also, shouldn't we hate Israel more?

633 Will not support any organization that supports Planned Parenthood. Besides.... I'm on a low carb diet.
