Fat Trans-fer

While I can applaud the efforts of the Girl Scout cookie bakers to
remove the trans fats from the cookies, they seemed to have upped the total and saturated fat numbers as a result!

Thin Mints -- Serving size 4 cookies (right, who hasn't stuck/stored these in the freezer and then ate the whole sleeve?!), calories 160, carbs 22g, total fat 8g, saturated fat 6g. But hey, 6% of your iron requirement!

Peanut Butter Patties (also known as Tag-a-longs) -- Serving size 2 (extreme willpower needed!), calories 160, carbs 17g, total fat 9g, saturated fat 5g. Its redeeming quality - 1g of fiber!

Good thing Girl Scout Cookie Time is only once a year! Be kind to...and do good works with... your heart instead and donate the money directly to the Girl Scouts, or purchase the boxes to go to our soliders overseas or to local women's and other shelters. Contact your local Girl Scout Council for more information about these programs.
