First Order of Business...

Ok, so this is my new blog.  Since it has taken me so long to start my own blog, there are SO MANY topics to cover.  I know there is a lot going on in the world right now.  It's a scary place.  There is one issue that has been particularly troubling to me lately and I think it is at the root of it all of our problems...  

Cookie Monster (a lovable sesame street character, blue fur, googly eyes, loves cookies) is NO LONGER a cookie monster.  He is a cookie and fruit/vegetable monster.  He has even been rumored to being singing songs titled "Cookies Are A Sometimes Food."  He has a healthier, more balanced diet.  WTF?!?!  Does he shove fruit salad in his face now?  Or does he have to eat more slowly too?  Is he still allowed to make munching sounds like "Om nom nom nom?"  Are they going to start calling him the Multi-grain monster?  Is the word monster too frightening? I know that childhood obesity is a growing epidemic, but this cannot be blamed on him.  We need to think of the poor children that are affected by this.  By shielding them from everything deemed "unhealthy" we are turning them into the world's biggest pussies.  (Cookie Monster is unavailable for comment at this time).
