'Sesame Street' advocates healthy eating habits

First PBS announced that "Sesame Street" would kick off its 35th season this week with a multiyear story arc about healthy habits. No problem there; childhood obesity rates are soaring. Then I learned of changes that turned my "Sesame Street" world upside-down.

My beloved blue, furry monster -- who sang "C is for cookie, that's good enough for me" -- is now advocating eating healthy. There's even a new song -- "A Cookie Is a Sometimes Food," where Cookie Monster learns there are "anytime" foods and "sometimes" foods.

This makes me a sad panda.

This reminds me of that time I saved the world.
PETER, you didn't save the World, you watched it on TV last night.


But yes, Olan, I agree

I'm going to go throw up and ritualisticly bleed myself in an attempt to denounce any time I spent watching that hell-bent show.





Cookie monster was my favourite, too.

Where'd the count go? He only made one post

7, 7 bats, ah ha ha ha

I hope we get an episode where Cookie Monster goes on a rampage because he wasn't given his cookies. Then he eats everybody. Especially the producers. That'll show them for not giving them his beloved cookies.

Hell yea.

Double yew tee eff.

They destroyed that show when they repliaced Big Bird with Elmo as the main char... I read this Cookie Monster stuff earlier, I almost cried... I mean... that's like...

<--- Original Cookie Monster

<---- New thing...


Producers ---> <---- Cookie Monster

We need to all hold hands, bow our heads, and listen to "Sensimilla street".

What is Seseme Street? Looks gay.

This is blasphemy. First Big Bird and now the Cookie Monster? What is this world coming to...

Not to mention bugs bunny turning into some kind of psyched up bunny.

It's basically THE kids show, probably the most famous one. I'm really surprised you haven't heard of it.

But yes, Cookie Monster eating non-cookie food?

Huzzah! Your my hero!

About the only television I watched as a kid was my mother's soap operas... other than that, the tv was always off. Eh...

I hate society. Now you know why I MUD.

Guess who's helping him learn about the fun of vegetables?

Ms. Clinton.... :roll :

Shouldn't they rename him the Fruity Monster now?

I read about this in the newspaper the other day.. (The same article actually, word for word, OMG plagiarism!) It's so sad. Society sucks.

I think owls are an "anytime" food, right?
