I just heard on the news that the cookie monster has changed his approach to not JUST cookies, but to cookies, and healthy foods such as brocolli carrots apples etc.
Now he even sings songs and plays games that have to do with healthy foods ;o; and of course, he doesnt gobble down as many cookies as he used to any more
all of this for the quest to "prevent child obesity".

What's your opinion?
I'm just glad they didnt do this when i was a kid, the cookie monster was my nickname and favorite persong/thing in the world *_*

I don't understand this...it's the COOKIE monster...not the fruit and vegetable man......let Cookie monster stay with cookies...screw Veggies

I read that on CNN yesterday. That totally ruins everything Cookie Monster stood for! He's going to be calling the cookies " sometimes" food or something. =[

vegetable monster sounds scary.

i think thats kinda stupid.i mean thats why hes called the cookie monster.he loves cookies!

^lol.

But I think its a good thing , child obesity is getting worse nowdays.

.....

that's so stupid. COOKIE MONSTER ONLY EATS COOKIES.

Uhm watching a fuzzy blue rug gorge himself on cookies and make a huge mess everywhere never inspired me to do the same. WTF is wrong with kids these days?

Oh that's horrible . They can't take away the cookie monster!! It's not funny watching a blue thing eat broccoli .

This is almost as crazy as barbie getting a new boyfriend, no?

Haha, especially to a kid it would be.

Die Veggie/Fruit Monster.
Why hello, Cookie Monster<3.

thats gay

Why veggies!? Cookie tastes better. ):

Well I can see why they would want promote a healither COOKIE monster but he is the COOKIE monster, not the VEGGIE monster.

^^
no kidding....i find it kinda amusing actually.

this is... wow.

Hahahahahaha.
That's kind of stupid.
I see where the idea's coming from, but seriously...That's stupid.

dang that dumb. i mean come on its cookie monster not fruit and vegetable monster -_-

they have good intents, but now that just ruins the whole fun of it.

haha..thats kinda funny...but thats stupid. its not gonna make kids want vegetables any more!! or at least any ones i know..

It ruins the fun of "cookie monster"...

we should start a petition for the old cookie monster back T_T

^ i'd sign it.

this is so freaking stupid... it almost makes me laugh. i doubt this is going to change how kids eat.

no! that can't be! cookie monster is cookie monster. he only eats cookies! i think changing what he eat is not gonna prevent obesity.

They're ruining everything that kids like. Gawd, the world is becoming into a health freak society.

The whole cookie monster thing is idiotic. Good Lord, do they really think that he has that much influence over what a little kid eats? Do kids' parents not have any say in how much they eat?

If he's a cookie monster then he should just eat cookies... sesame street has become more stupid.

C'mon he needs cookies to live
it's like crack for him
lol stupid chappelle

stupid health nuts denying me of my food, why does society expect everyone to be sculpted into barbie and ken, gawd I hate that I'm eating my food cuz thats what its made for, f*** the noise

thats so stupid

but its kinda funny in a way.

I was Cookie Monster for halloween in kindergarten. He`s my idol. Better not be eating no damn frutis and vegetables.

The Cookie Monster is changing into the Healthy Monster. YAY!













Ummm... no.
Definitely - NO.

Vegetable Monster sounds ghetto, why not be Cookie monster itself ?

WTF is this? Watching a weird monster on T.V. never pushed people to eat cookies. Fat kids didn't eat cookies because a blue puppet did -- THEY WERE HUNGRY!
That'd be a stupid name.Seriously! Was I the only one truly affected by their breakup?!

Besides, Cookie Monster never really even ate them, the crumbles always fell out of his mouth while he chewed on them.

Mucho love,

Alyson

P.S. I'd totally sign that petition, too.

Cookie Monster has been Cookie Monster waayyyyyyy too long for them to change him there would be no point calling him Cookie Monster if he eats something else damn those health freaks.

-Phil-

maybe they should make altered versions of cookie monster and make a monster kingdom! they could have vegetable cookie monster and oatmeal cookie monster and raisin cookie monster and so on. and the original cookie monster could be dictator. can dictators rule over kingdoms?

time to go take medication

that is one of the most stupid things i have ever heard. What fun is there in liking a monster when he eats broccoli?

Yeah, I heard about this. Everyone is always trying to change what works. Thats so sad!

Well I see the point they're trying to get across, but it's the COOKIE monster. I mean, a lot of little kids probably watch the show and be like "COOKIE MONSTER!" and be like "I <3 cookies!!!!!!!" and there are a lot of obese children nowadays. But maybe they should make a new character... the COOKIE MONSTER is for COOKIES. I guess they just want fewer kids watching the show, don't they?

NO! The Cookie Monster is the best! How could they ruin his reputation of eating cookies?!

His name is the cookie monster. He shoud eat cookies.

lmao. vege man! lol. yeha i think its dumb. i mean there kids. oooo noo theres gonan get cookies!!. i mean seriously soon the trashcan man will be like the shower man or bathtub man. i mean come on!

I'd sign too. Kids like cookies, kids eat cookies. They won't really be CHANGED by this character. Let things be...

they also changed the american food pyrimad, and added a stick figure stepping up each layer as if he/she were "exercising" rofl. He's cool though.

thats like freakin sacreligious. how can you do that?? I mean really. Next is oscar the grouch gonna live in happy land? wtf? That changes everythng. stupid people are so conscerned with fat kids. how about teaching the parents to instill goo eating habits to their children. if you are worried about it, dont buy them any damn cookies!! I mean these are kids we're talking about. its not like they are gonna go out and get a job and buy their own damn cookies. its all about what the parents had around. rediculous!!

i guess that's true about oscar living in happy land. just because big bird is big and yellow doesn't make all of us want to be big and yellow.

America is turning politically correct with the most inane/atrocious subjects.

I bet they'll make Bert and Ernie live in seperate rooms.
We wouldn't want the children to think they're a homosexual couple.
It would be bad to support such a thing! GASP!!!




to quote a friend, "oscar will be living in section 8 housing, instead of on the streets in his trashcan... big bird's name will be changed because of a possbile sexual innuendo..."

isnt being called the cookie monster the whole reason to eat lots of cookies...meh its good for health and all but it also contradicts its self.

yeah i heard about this =(

HE IS THE COOKIE MONSTER GOSH!!
