A viral report from Moms Across America claiming dangerous levels of pesticides and heavy metals in Girl Scout cookies has sent parents into a panic. However, a closer look at the science reveals these fears are largely unfounded.

Are they now targeting the girl scouts too?
(Of course they are. Duh?)
Aren't Moms Across America also the same group who ONLY homeschool their kids since they are not regulated? But yet get free lunch programs DELIVERED to them at their homes? Same who burns books?🤔
Especially since Boy/Girl Scouts was founded a long time ago. Genuinely wondering
Until we admit what it is, the poison spreads. Through every church in the land.
But seriously, fuck anyone who would try to spread lies in order to undermine a child scouting group's fundraising efforts.
They probably hate the girls scouts because they’re inclusive.
This Moms Across America thing needs to be sued into oblivion!
I had a friend freaking out over a video showing that you can take iron out of cereal and used infant cereal as an example. The narrator of the video made it sound scary and bad, but I watched Mr. Wizard.

I will never buy another box until I see real change in GSofA.
-Large council, very well educated area.
- No troop support, very top heavy at the council
My last contact at council was contracted from outside with a BA in non-profits. Never heard of GS before the job.
In other news, scientists have determined water is wet.
So them ragging on the Girl Scouts is pretty apt.
Definitely one of those "Your scorn fills me with pride!" kinda moments.
So…*eats a sleeve of thin mints*
We good?
They don’t do science so add another fear to that big bucket they are filling up.
Also, the last time one of these nutty Moms groups bitched about the Girl Scouts, their cookie sales shot thru the roof. Hopefully this will have the same impact. 😂
In a sane world they would consist of at least 50% girl scout by mass to defend such a label.
We should all buy more GG cookies.
Will follow their chapter accts on bluesky + continue my usual excessive cookie order
You should basically believe the opposite of anything they tell you
Stupidest timeline...
so some is founded?
Since GS is big into inclusion, I can see why they'd be a target. Well, screw them. The only thing keeping me from buying Thin Mints is the fact they always run out!
Recovered her son from autism? I doubt everything this group says.
I know this for a fact.
Well, I'll be....
Not kidding.

Contains 0.00 % actual Girl Scout,..and not even a trace of a mean little Brownie..what a rip-off. False Advertising always makes me sooo unhappy.
I don’t envy these kids because they’re being raised by parents that are teaching them to fear essentially everything.
So even if all is well, these kids could face a different kind of strife, & it might not be named in their lives for a very long time if ever
