So it's Girl Scout cookie time again! I usually love this time of year, but this year I checked the ingredients list and found two big no-nos—partially hydrogenated oils and high-fructose corn syrup. Ugh. So to combat my depression over not eating the cookies this year, I sent this email to the Girl Scouts:
When my neighbor Girl Scout came by today to sell cookies, I was disappointed to see that even after all the negative studies about the effects of trans fats, the cookies still contain partially hydrogenated oils. In addition, they contain high-fructose corn syrup, which has been shown to cause liver damage over time.

Please improve the ingredients of your cookies so that I may continue to support your organization without putting my family's health at risk.
