I bought a box of each this year and my (mother loving) mother came to me and said we couldn't buy them any more because they use Palm Oil in the ingredients.

Orangutan habitats, nor do the farmers kill them. They also have reduced the usage of palm oil in their cookies. They changed this several years ago.

The majority of baked goods in the US use palm oil, and it is interesting to me how folks only really target the Girl Scouts (not directed at you or your mom).

I read the entire thing and realize this is not you speaking, but you might use quotes in the subject line to make it clear.

It’s true. You can look it up.

I spend that money on some Do-Si-Dos and Tagalongs, instead.

Enough folks do so and she will be toast.

The cookies are a means to fund their worthy activities to build self-esteem and skills to succeed in adulthood.

While that may not be the best way to fund their organization in your opinion, it has become emblematic. So, buy the cookies and then gift them or dispose of them, if you don't want them. Or else, just donate instead of getting cookies. Perhaps engage with them at their posts to compliment them at their efforts to be a part of "business' or building their skills and give money instead of getting the cookies. With a smile.

Whatever you do, please support the Girl Scouts. It is important.

The reason a boycott will not happen by anyone will be because of one thing. Thin Mints!

So senseless these childish arguments.

Pass the Samoas, please.

And AOC is done being a girl scout, so they can't get anything out of it.

AOC went to college, too, so maybe the fundies should boycott that!

How would a boycott of the Girl Scouts hurt Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? She is no longer a member of the Girl Scouts.
