I heard about this a few weeks ago, it's true ;).

 

Too many children in North America are becoming obese.

[calgarydave]

well they're saying now that the current generation is the first one in american history that will have shorter lives than those of thier parents, and its because we keep porking on the pounds

[Dan #3]

And I'm sure that it's all Cookie Monster's fault. Pfft, maybe kids should get off their lazy asses instead of sitting around all day.

[calgarydave]

yeah cookie monster makes us fat, and spongebob makes us gay whats your point

[CaptainRocket]

Reagardless, at least Sesame Street is trying to do something about the problem.

Does anyone remeber Cookie's classic rap "Healthy Food (Tastes So Good)"? He was into the veggies before, now they are ust putting explicit effort into it.

[Dan #3]

Yeah, but "sometimes food?" That's just silly. Why not just introduce a cousin of CM instead? Call him/her Healthy Food Monster or something more catchy.

[CaptainRocket]

That's a good idea, but I'm sure this will not disturb the force too much. I mean, I hate change, a lot, but if this will help lower the obesity problem in kids then maybe it is a good thing.

[Dan #3]

Yeah, well maybe they should learn to ride a bike!

 

I suppose you're right though.

[british_steel]

They couldve just brought in like Cookie Monsters relatives or something who eat Celery or some other greens.
