r/GameTheorists on Reddit: The Girl Scout Cookie Lawsuit
July 3, 2024 -
There's been a class action lawsuit against Girl Scouts, claiming that the cookies have potentially harmful amounts of certain pesticides and metals. The thing is, the study they're citing only had a sample size of 25 cookies in only 3 states. The legitimacy of the study, and by extension the lawsuit, seema questionable and worth investigating.
