A friend of mine said he didn't like this, something about ruining his childhood, but I disagree.I mean, kids are fat. People in general in America are fat. So Cookie Monster eats less cookies now and teaches kids about healthy eating. What's wrong with that?When we drop my son off at daycare, he sits at the table and eats his snack (we drop him off at around 7:30 and they don't eat breakfast until 9). He always has yogurt and some kind of fruit (banana, apple, orange, peach, pear, etc). All the other kids at the table are eating pop-tarts, cookies, sugary drinks, just all kinds of non-healthy stuff.So if you start telling them it's "ok" to eat this kind of junk food all the time they're going to develop bad habits. But if you tell them it's ok to eat sugary treats but only in moderation, like what they're trying to do with Cookie Monster, then you get a kid who has healthy eating habits and won't be at as much risk for heart disease, diabetes and the other bad things to which obese people are more privy.Anyway, just thought I'd give up some "mad props" to Sesame Street.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
