C Is For Carrot
Thanks to La Wade for alerting me to this very important news story about the Cookie Monster. In an effort to promote healthy eating among kids, the Cookie Monster now sings a song about cookies being "a sometimes food."
"Even Cookie Monster is learning to control his cookie cravings... His sage advice opened our eyes to the simple joys of a tasty cookie and now reminds us that moderation is the key to healthy living."
Is nothing sacred?

Hmmm, yes. I was more alarmed by the idea that Sesame Street has "guest stars"... that seems somehow wrong (although I can't imagine a five-year-old would know who Alicia Keys is, so that's probably OK).
The story has been widely repeated in Britain. I did like the comment in (I think) the Scotsman newspaper that maybe they should work on his table manners next. Nae chance!

I know. This bothers me too. Leave well enough alone. Is he going to turn into slim-fast monster? Atkins monster? He's cookie monster for goodness sakes. Next they're going to mess with Oscar and make him move out of the dump.
Besides he's not obese or anything. He's cute the way he is.
