Cookies Meet Aerobics Over at CNN!
CNN has a story that I will definitely be using before summer about working off the Girl Scout cookies! Madison Park reports that the best seller by far is Thin Mints, raking in a quarter of the cookies’ sales. She reports that the dark chocolate-covered, mint flavored cookies are actually one of the lowest calorie treats you can get from the Girl Scouts at 40 calories apiece. If you eat four of the cookies at 160 calories, you could burn off that energy with approximately half an hour of bicycling at a leisurely pace. Not so bad. For exercise tips and comparative analysis of other cookies, definitely read the entire article!
