What a crying shame.
Cookie Monster is a monster. The dude is supposed to be gorging on things that aren't good for him, it's in his very nature.
And seriously, what 5 year old is going to ask for a celery stick just because a blue puppet is eating one on screen? Especially when mama and papa are sitting there chowing down on some KFC.
Sesame Street education is useless when the parents allow for the opposite behavior.
My beloved Cookie Monster, they've taken you away from me. :(
Maybe I'm really weird, but I would. Seeing other people, my parents especially, getting fat (presumably) on KFC, or some other fast food restaurant, would make me want to do the opposite. I would be completely...disgusted. Being around people who eat really unhealthy, makes me want to eat really, really healthy, and work out. I've always been like this. :( I'm aware that most people aren't though.Quote:

What I found even more disturbing than the depressing fact that Cookie Monster is being forced on a cookie-light diet, is that Sesame Street is entering its 35th season. Jesus! You'd think most of the people on it would be dead by now... :(
Long live the cookies! :monster:
I guess it's for the best, but it's still just...weird.
Kikimm, I think you missed my point. I don't believe that by changing Cookie Monster's character, children all over America will start demanding apples and oranges over cookies and donuts.Quote:

'Sometimes food' my ass.
Well, there is such a thing as a cookie with fruit baked into it instead of chocolate chips. Most of them are nasty tasteing, but they exist.Quote:

Besides..
Hes the COOKIE Monster. Not the Fruit And Nuts Monster. =(
:..2-2-7..:
Oh, no, of course not. I think he's been around too long, and has that NAME, that'll stop kids from doing that. I guess I was...replying to that situation, or something. I don't know. xDQuote:

They should just make the Cookie Monster eat more and more cookies as he gradually gets fatter and fatter until he's an immobile blob. That's gotta do a better job of teaching kids to eat heathier than this fruits and veggies crap.
He doesn't even eat them. He just breaks them up in his mouth and they fall everywhere.
I heard a rumor that the show is also going to kill off a character in the next season. :( :cry:
(SPOILER)I might have the wrong show. Better go check....
