Every day my inbox is stuffed with outrage. Somebody is trying to slaughter endangered wolves, dolphins and even frogs. People continue to slaughter each other, in the Sudan for instance. As awful as it all is at least I'm used to the depressing but familiar villains like oil and coal companies and even McDonalds ( for generations of clearing rain forests for their cattle to graze in the brief time before they are slaughtered as well.)
But please. The Girl Scouts?
Yes, the Girl Scouts, and even worse, Girl Scout Cookies.
It seems that the U.S. cookies are all made with palm oil, which change.org says "is commonly harvested through the clearing and burning of irreplaceable tropical rainforests."
So there goes another indulgence with a guiltfree excuse. And that much more faith lost in Americana.
