Tuesday, March 15, 2005Girl Scout Cookies
This is the season for the selling of Girl Scout Cookies and although
the GSA has many reasons for promoting this activity with young girls I
have many reasons for not doing this.
1. I do not think that children should have the responsibility of raising funds for any volunteer organization. If the group needs funds the adults should find a way to fund the activity.
2. Children (girls) should not be put in a position of approaching strangers to buy their products.
3. Cookies are very unhealthful and we are encouraging consumption of a poor food that only results in furthering the obesity in our country and among our children.
