From the information booklet about Girl Scout cookie sales:
Encourage your customers to enjoy their Girl Scout cookies in a healthy manner. Remember: a serving of Thin Mints is not an entire sleeve of cookies!
The girls should read the nutritional information for the cookies so they can answer customer questions but if the customers don't ask I don't think it's the responsibility of the girls to lecture them on their dietary choices...unless the customer is a little brother who scarfs down a whole box before his sister gets a cookie or two from it.
If you want people to pay attention to the serving suggestions on the boxes, don't make the cookies so tasty!

These are actual cookies we're talking about, aren't they? Do the Baden-Powells need to come back from the great campground in the sky to straighten out this silly PC ploy?
And a sleeve of thin mints is so a serving. Make it healthy? Add a large mug of milk.
