My name is Emi Fujii and I’ve been a Girl Scout for 8 years.  Girl Scout cookies have a wide variety of choices.  But, one type of cookie has not been made.  That is a sugar free cookie.  Many people globally have been diagnosed with diabetes.  

At least one person at every single cookie booth I have worked has asked if we have cookies for diabetics.  Sadly, every time i have to reply “No.”

Eight years ago, when I was five, my beloved grandmother passed away because of diabetes.  She loved Girl Scout cookies so much that she kept eating them.  In my opinion, I believe that if we had the option of a sugar free cookie, she would have been able to eat the delicious cookies with less risks.

A couple of years ago, while I was at a cookie booth, someone asked if we had sugar free cookies because he had recently been diagnosed with diabetes.  I told him how I was writing this essay about how Girl Scouts should have sugar free cookies.  He was so happy and excited that he actually bought a box to donate to someone.  Even gave a donation as well.

In conclusion, I think the cookie council should consider making sugar free cookies for people with diabetes or on special diets.  If a cookie like this was to be made, it would benefit us Girl Scouts and many others.
