Vegan Girl Scout Cookies

I just had the urge for something sweet and reached into the box of mint Girl Scout Cookies I recently bought on West Portal.

The girls and mothers at the table near Vicente weren't sure whether they had any vegan cookies, so they looked at the ingredients.

I do see the use of palm oil, and that's too bad.  Apparently two Girl Scouts discovered this themselves in 2010 and had a media blitz, resulting in the makers of the cookies saying that they'd look for a replacement, but the palm oil is still listed after 7 years.
