I admit that I am stretching the scope of my blog a little with Cookie Monster, but the article is about nutrition. Ok you caught me, it is just a fun read.

I tripped over this article on CNN the other day, Has Cookie Monster given up sweets? Apparently the folks at PBS and CTW are focusing on healthy lifestyle habits this year. As a result Cookie Monster will now be eating more healthy food and even has a new song to go with his improved diet, "A Cookie Is a Sometimes Food."

Some how I have got to think that the song "A Cookie Is a Sometimes Food," just doesn't have the same ring as "C Is For Cookie," (which incendently is rarely aired these days....I have a two year old and he has only heard "C is For Cookie" off an old video tape).

What has this world come to? The next thing you know Sesame Street will have 1/3 of their program devoted to an annoying little red furry monster who talks in the third person to his gold fish.
