It looks like Cookie Monster is now going to focus on "eating healthy":
"We are not putting him on a diet," said his spokesman, Truglio. "And we would never take the position of no sugar. We're teaching him moderation."
The funniest thing about Cookie Monster though, is his lack of moderation! His crazed cookie binging is why he is Dario's favorite character on Sesame Street. Because he is eating, like, a dozen cookies at a time, cookie bits are flying all around him and he's growling and crazed.... well, ask any two-year-old-- it is hilarious. We'll have to see how this goes-- I can't imagine Cookie Monster nibbling on one little cookie with his pinky up.

Old googly eyes trying out the new goods. Look at the lonely chocolate chip cookie on the right. How sad!
