California Girl Scout Troop Refuses to Sell Sugary Cookies [POLL]

Hi Kim, I'd like to clear up the only arguement anyone has with OUR Troops decision to not sell cookies. Me being a baker. The thing about articles is facts are always miscued.I started Two Parts Sugar 5 years ago and only ran the business for 2 years. Needless to say all my products were baked from scratch with no preservatives. I have not filled an order in 3 years. As for Cupcake Wars, it was the pilot episode which filmed over 3 years ago. I kept the site up in hopes to turn it into a non-profit in which kids could come and learn about running/sting their own business and learn the skills of baking and decorating. So, my intentions were good. Not until recently (within the past 6-9 months) did I decide to sell the business because I felt it didn't quite line up with what I continue to learn about. This was right around the time I started questioning the sale of Girl Scout cookies. This "healthier eating" is and has been a progression that I continue to learn about. I feel I am obligated as a parent, Troop leader, and role model to not only educate myself on the growing concerns and facts about sugar and processed foods, but to get that information to our kids to allow them to make educated decisions as well. My intention is not to "make a statement"...but sometimes that just comes with the territory of doing something that is not mainstream. I treat my troop as I would my own children. I want the best for them and want them to learn about healthier eating, and another lesson they wouldn't receive from the sale of cookis....how to deal with controversy and stand up for what is right. I've said it before... I LOVE what Girl Scouts has done and will continue to support thier efforts. There are infinate amounts of positivity flowing through that organiation, but, there is always room for improvement. When do we choose our integrity over a couple bucks.
