These Days, Even the Cookie Monster Has an Eating Disorder, Redux

If you’re not familiar with Cookie Monster, he’s a muppet with an unhealthy obsession with cookies. He completely lacks self control when it comes to his favorite food and often gets himself into trouble because he’ll do just about anything for a cookie.

For the past three decades the Cookie Monster has been the monstrous embodiment of gluttony. He has, in other words, always taught children about healthy eating habits.

And now we’re dumbing down our television programming even further. Assuming kids won’t “get it.”

Gosh, it’s great to be a stupid Amurikan.
