[blparent] No more bake sales?

[Jessica Trask]

Hi Jo,

I was involved with Girl Scouts when I was living in Utah for a couple 
of years. And, I always used to take the girl scout cookie sheet to 
school with me and sell them to all the teachers. In fact, the last 
year I did it I know there was one or two teachers that were bringing 
their little girls cookie sheet order form to work with them so they 
could help their children out by selling them. And, I remember to this 
day my biggest order I ever took was from my high school guidance 
counselor the last year I did it in Park City Utah. And, she being evil 
sent them to her daughter at the time who was in college. She ordered 
12 boxes of cookies.

I don't agree with what they are wanting to do. Also, the fact that 
most elementary schools now especially are cutting out recess 
dramatically doesn't help out the obesity problems that we are seeing 
in the younger generations now.

Also, they are not taking into account that their our other medical 
conditions that obesity plays a rule in. example Down's Syndrome.
