V is for Veggies???
As much as I’ve been advocating that junk food stop being pushed on our kids (more here and here), I’m not sure how I feel about Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster eating less cookies and instead opting for fruits and veggies, even going as far as saying “A Cookie Is a Sometimes Food.” I mean, his name is Cookie Monster – they kind of made that bed a long time ago and for good reason…who would love a character named Eggplant Monster?
Seriously though, I’m sure this kind of messaging will help with the lessons I want to teach my son. I’m just not sure they need to mess with Cookie Monster.
