disturbing…
November 18, 2007so I had a few of my young friends over for our first “life is still good” dinner only to learn something so incredibly disturbing.
the cookie monster is no longer the cookie monster.
the cookie monster is now the veggie monster???
apparently this is old news – but it’s new news to me.
I’m all about health. I love healthy food. I even absolutely love vegetables.
But the “veggie monster?” I mean don’t vegetables scare most children away already? and now we have a “veggie monster” that I assume is supposed to inspire children to eat their veggies.
veggie monster? seriously? veggie monster?
the cookie monster is no more? seriously?
disturbing. really disturbing.
ok I did a bit further checking and the world will be glad to know, that Cookie Monster has not changed his name to brussel sprout monster but has made the public statement that cookies are just a “sometime food.” thought the clarification might prevent the popping of any more bubbles.

V is for Veggie…it’s good enough for me….
Ugh!!! Just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
It’s a sad sad day.
My sister-in-law told me over the weekend that they have released the first season of “Sesame Street,” from circa 1970, on DVD and — because of so many little issues like this where their thinking has changed over the years — the producers have supposedly labeled it as being a nostalgia product for adults, with a disclaimer that it is not being sold as a children’s program. Seems kind of silly, but there you have it.
