    Isn’t it a perfect time to teach people, what is good for them and what is not, when they are children? Boy scouts should be a vanguard of any positive activities. For many years it is known that food coloring, especially in big doses is unhealthy, mainly for children. The worst is the yellow one. There were many attempts to ban the usage of unnatural food coloring, but the powerful lobby blocked all these legislative attempts. The only way we can win this battle is to stop using unhealthy products. I think it would be much better to take a globe and teach boys a location of a few countries, capitals, mountain chains or oceans and additionally give them an opportunity to make a treat for themselves, in a form of a flat patty without any poison.

      I couldn’t agree more! We give our kids junk and then wonder why their behavior is so crazy…

    While I agree with Gregory for the most part, leaders and parents come here for ideas to make scouting more fun. Looking up geography vs. making a fun treat and decorating – which do you think has more appeal? Encourage alternate products such as blueberry juice and chlorophyll in place of chemical dyes which are natural and healthier and it teaches resourcefulness. And I have always used marshmallow Fluff without gelatin to make these treats.

    In an ideal world, we could be free of poison. Since we don’t live in an ideal world, there are higher levels of poison in our drinking water, air, and foods. Since we are all going to die, I would rather focus on living and enjoying treats that have ppb doses of toxins. My Scouts are already told “No” every step of the way by their exhausted parents, this idea would put a smile on their faces. Smiles will wash away any trace levels of toxins this idea would carry. What a shame that many folks want to start living when they find out that they are dyeing. Live and enjoy life, it’s short!
