I am writing this letter all the way from Kuwait, where I am serving on active duty with the Army Reserve. I wanted to comment on the sale of Girl Scout cookies, believe it or not. I urge ALL Bladen County citizens to boycott the sale for two reasons:
1. The CEO of the Girl Scouts, whose home office is in New York, NY, makes $400,000 a year. The top pay for a Four Star General in the Army is less than $200,000 a year. President Bush makes $400,000 a year. This is just too much money to pay the head of a quote non-profit organization.(Girl Scouts). The sad thing is that the CEO of the Girl Scouts is making her money on the efforts of our young girls working hard selling cookies.
2. Our children in Bladen County are just plain too fat. For the first time in history, children born today will NOT live to be as old as their parents, on the average, because of the epidemic of obesity. The school district is not fixing the problem, because they continue to serve unhealthy fried foods and flavored sugar water in machines known as Fruitopia. The LAST thing our children need to eat is a bunch of unhealthy Girl Scout cookies! They will not live to see their grandchildren if the epidemic of obesity continues.
Meanwhile, soldiers like me overseas continue to fight for your right to buy the cookies. Life is about choices. Made a good one by not buying the Girl Scout cookies. This is my PERSONAL opinion.
God Bless.
