A Cookie is a Sometimes Food? Not For Me.
What a travesty. Cookie Monster is now being forced to live a life dictated by Western standards of health, moderation, and dullness. He can no longer croon "C is for cookie that's good enough for me," but has to declare "A cookie is a sometimes food." Doesn't that seem to go against the very nature of one whose moniker declares him to be...a COOKIE MONSTER. I understand the importance of teaching healthy eating principles to children, but I don't think Sesame Street is a show that is built on verisimilitude.

i agree. my childhood is cheapened by this.
I was upset when I heard about this! But then again, most of Sesame Street has changed. It is no longer a show of random minute to minute and a half sketches...not the way it used to be anyway. So many of us loved Sesame Street before most of the changes...why did they have to mess with a good thing?
