Opinions are like fat cells, everybody has them, so brace yourself for the blasphemy I'm about to speak against the All-American tradition of Girl
Scout cookies.
Girl Scouts are sweet (especially since I was one myself) and their cookies are even sweeter, but am I willing to put on poundage just to support their cause?
It's actually Health-hater Husband who gets credit this year. He forked over almost 20 bucks and came home with five boxes.
Cookies by Numbers
- Trefoils - 2 boxes, 2,380 calories
- Tagalongs - 2 boxes, 1,960 calories
- Do-si-dos - 1 box, 1,080 calories
Total Calories = 5,420
One pound of fat is equal to 3,500 calories so go easy on the cookies this year.
Consider an alternative way to support Girls Scouts that is tax deductible and won't go straight to your fat cells.
