According to somewhat recent reports, our dear dear friend the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street is going on a diet! Yup, you heard me.. that means less cookies? But, what good will our Cookie Monster be without lots n lots of cookies to eat? Well according to our experts, "Almost one in three children in the US is now overweight, as opposed to one in 25 in the UK".. soo which means Cookie Monster "will cut down on his favourite food as part of an anti-obesity drive." Sooo if Mr Cookie Monster has to cut down on his cookies.. it means he needs to adjust his song from "C is for cookie, that's good enough for me".. to "A Cookie Is a Sometimes Food," From the new song, "Cookie Monster learns there are 'anytime' foods and 'sometimes' foods."... Sooo now what? Eh?
Ok soo if poor Mr Cookie Monster gets deprived of his cookies ... whats next? Oh I know! FOooOOOooD Makeover!!
Ahhhh yes .. our good little friends, vegetables and fruits! whom else?!
"So there it is. Cookie Monster still gobbles cookies, he's just a healthier version of his old self. His eyes are still googly, his fur is still scruffy and he's still messy. Even "Sesame Street" recognizes that we all need guilty pleasures." and I say.. soo WHY THE DIET??!
"Cookie Monster appears to be happy with the new "sometimes food" song, because at the end he warbles: "Is sometimes now?" "
