Rogan calls Girl Scout Cookies ‘toxic’

Famed podcaster Joe Rogan has taken aim at a beloved treat, and the organization that makes them fired back. The Independent reports that on a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan had a conversation with actor Woody Harrelson, which included a discussion of chemical additives in American foods.

During the conversation, Rogan stated that Girl Scout Cookies are “toxic as [expletive],” and read information from a study from nonprofit group Moms Across America in partnership with GMOScience. In response, the Girls Scouts of the USA spoke with Fox News, stating that “all Girl Scout Cookies are produced by our trusted licensed bakers,” all of whom adhere to food safety standards set by the Food and Drug Administration.
