I am one of the many people living with celiac disease. This condition makes digesting gluten a health hazard, stripping me of the joy of indulging in some of the simplest pleasures such as savoring a Girl Guide cookie due to the gluten content. Therefore, I am petitioning to persuade a local bakery to start producing Gluten-Free Girl Guide Cookies. The cookies we've known and loved for years should not be a delicacy only some can enjoy.

According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, an estimated 1 in 100 people worldwide are affected by this condition, making it essential to cater to this significant demand. In Canada alone, 400,000 Canadians are diagnosed. That's a lot of people. This is not just about cookies; it's about inclusivity and respect for dietary needs. 

Transforming Girl Guide cookies into a gluten-free alternative is not just a personal desire but a necessity for thousands. Let's make this popular treat enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their dietary restrictions. Please sign the petition and support our cause to convince a local bakery to create Gluten-Free Girl Guide Cookies.
