The Center for Science in Public Interest questions the Girl Scouts' comparison of a cookie to a fruit.
The Girl Scouts of the USA caught quite a bit of heat over the past week after introducing its new Mango Creme, and suggesting that the cookie has the nutritional equivalent of fruit. "It's bad enough that the Girl Scouts of the USA sells cookies to raise money, but it shouldn't pretend that its new 'Mango Crèmes with NutriFusion' are nutritionally equivalent to fruit, wrote the Center for Science in the Public Interest in a recent press release. The Center said, "the cookies at issue are 98 percent white flour, sugar, palm oil, and dextrose (sugar made from corn). Yet marketing copy on the manufacturer's website claims that its filling has 'all the nutrient benefits of eating cranberries, pomegranates, oranges, grapes, and strawberries…

Framingham Girl Scouts, along with the rest of Eastern Massachusetts Girl Scouts, began selling cookies today. New this year are Shout Outs! - a caramel shortbread cookie. Other returning favorites are Thin Mints, Caramel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties, Shortbread, Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Lemonades and Thanks-A-Lots. Cookies are $4 a box.

Framingham Girl Scouts will be taking orders today through mid-January. Cookies will be delivered in February. Payment …

The mango cookies are delicious! I have bought four kinds - six boxes so far and I normally only eat healthy fruits and veggies, but made an exception for the girl scouts.
