Girl Scout cookies are safe
If you ordered boxes of Girl Scout cookies, they should be arriving soon. Mine came today.

You can worry about the calories (2 Samoas have 150 calories, Ouch!) But there's no need to stress about the peanut butter in the Tagalongs or Do-Si-Dos.

They are safe to eat, according to this announcement from the National Girl Scout organization.

"Neither of the two licensed bakers affiliated with Girl Scout® Cookies, ABC Interbake or Little Brownie Bakers, source their peanut butter from the supplier involved in the current peanut butter warning."

So grab a class of milk and enjoy! And then go for a walk.
