I loved watching Sesame Street while i was growing up. Elmo, Cookie Monster and the count were always my favorite.
I was quite surprised to find out that a few years ago, the Cookie Monster went all healthy just like the rest of the show. Cookies are now only a 'sometime food' and he actually eats eggplants! So no more songs about his cookie addiction, instead he's got a new one.
Funnily enough the he song is a parody of "A Woman is a Sometime Thing," from George and Ira Gershwin's opera "Porgy and Bess".
As glad as I am to see the show promoting healthy eating in children, it almost seems sacrilegious!
