Cookie monster has just announced that he is giving up cookies and has turned to healthy eating..
Im not kidding it was just on the news.. they thought that he was influencing children to eat cookies.
yeah like kids wouldnt want to eat cookies unless they saw cookie monster do it....

that's just horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm properly shocked now. It's just as silly as plans in the UK to ban "king-sized" chocolate bars because noone needs that much chocolate and calories, but still selling muffins, doughnuts, 100-, 200- and 300-g-chocolate bars and whole pizzas. Blind actionism
But while I can live with just buying 2 small chocolate bars instead, a carrot-monster is definitely not good! Poor children! How's the cookie-monster gonna make all the crumbs with carrots!! "vices are like genitals - most are ugly to behold, and yet we find that our own are dear to us."

Banning king size chocolate bars? But nobody 'needs chocolate' (ok we do, but not in the way nutritionists mean!
) at all, so that's just pointless...! The optimist claims that we are living in the best of all possible worlds.
The pessimist fears this is true.

Or maybe kids could get out in to the real world rather than watching american TV programs. I've never see that program so I have no idea what you're talking about. Getting kids to eat proper food can't be a bad thing though, can it?

at least that article didn't mention carrots. Though anyways, here's my prediction for Sesame Street in 15 years:
Government Health Advisor (HA) and Sesame Street Producer (S) meet in an office.
HA: "These figures show that children eat fewer vegetables than they used to 15 years ago. This is very worrying."
S: "What do you want us to do?"
HA: "We think that carrots should not be advertised by a monster. This gives children the wrong idea, they think eating carrots all the time is bad. Children who turn up at school with carrots in their lunchboxes are being bullied."
S: "So, you think we should make the monster DISLIKE carrots and make it eat something unhealthy?"
HA: "Exactly. It must be something starting with C though... to keep the identification with the character up."
S: "C... C... Cookies!"
"vices are like genitals - most are ugly to behold, and yet we find that our own are dear to us."

They're killing a classic...
and maybe they should consider parents teaching cookies in moderation? I know, I get these crazy revolutionist ideas sometimes, I'm sorry.

Wait, scratch that, I did drink mountain dew once, when I had to stay up late to study for a test... I ended up ripping a dragon out of the astral plane and into my car... it wasn't pretty...
