I don’t care what you do with fois gras, but don’t touch my Thin Mints:
NEW YORK — For much of the country, it’s Girl Scout cookie time again. And this year, all those cookies, not just the Thin Mints and a few others, will come nearly free of harmful trans fats.
The Girl Scouts have marked their 90th year in the cookie business by getting most of the artificial fat out of all varieties of their iconic treats, which had been under attack by a few health-focused consumer groups.
The change reflects a movement by the scouts in recent years to add an element of health consciousness to their annual bake sale.
This year, about half of all Girl Scout troops are also offering a sugar-free cookie called the Little Brownie. A cookie with reduced saturated fat, the Cartwheel, was also introduced last year.
Yes, and from what I’ve heard, the Cartwheel pretty much tastes like crap.

A lot of the sugar free goods cause excessive flatulence in people.
