why does the “Cookie Monster” have to take the rap for obesity in children? lets look at some of this, the de beat dads who dont take care of their kids which means the moms have to work hiney’s off and when they get home from work there tired and either get fast food or make a quick un-healthy meal persay for their kids.The kids cant play like they did in old school days hopscotch,skatebording, riding their bikes,jump they have to stay in the house alot because its not even safe to play in their own front yard……theres alot of reason why the “Cookie Monster” doesnt have to take the blame.! or take the RAP

Isn’t it really the parents fault for child obesity? why are they saying it’s a tv shows fault? If the parents wanted their kids to eat vegetables and be more healthier, than take them away from the tv! Let them get some fresh air, play some board games with them. That’s how I grew up, but yes I did watch sesame street and I did eat cookies but only like one a day. If they are seriously going to blame the tv show, they should realize that you’re giving your kids cookies not a sesame street character. Make another character to talk about veggies and bring back cookie monster!

Think of all the 2 year olds out there that are absolutely in love with cookie monster…wouldn’t they be devastated to have their blue, furry friend change his personality and color just because some(not all) children are obese. At one point we were all 2 and watched Sesame Street just to see this lovable blue monster in action, either singing or gobbling up his cookies. By the way wouldn’t the children get mad at the veggies and fruits for changing all he “lived” for!!! And what’s up with the color change anyway? You CANNOT take the cookie from the monster!!!

Kids can’t have have cookies? It’s not the cookies that are the problem it’s some of the parents and the new technology. Video games, iPods, tv, computer…kids just aren’t working out and less active it’s not just the sugar and treats

It’s not Cookie Monsters fault, it’s the parent’s fault. My mom signed me up for swim lessons when i was a kid so i would stay in shape or took me out to the park, now adays we have amazing videogames and more interesting websites that will keep children glued to the screen. I think parents need to moderate videogames and playing outside and cut back on happy meals and pizza.

“Social propoganda campaigns remain peripheral to the lifestyle parents encourage their kids to live.”
That is an excellent and succinct sentence. Very nice post. Thank you for sharing.
