Sesame Street's Cookie Monster has decided that he doesn't like cookies as much as he thought he did.
Famous for singing that "c is for cookie" and that that was good enough for him, the furry blue character will now tone down his love of the crumbly biscuit for the sake of the children.
Instead of devouring cookies in his usual manner, the Cooke Monster will now only occasionally partake in a biscuit feast, while singing that "a cookie is a sometimes food".
The change comes as Sesame Street producers attempt to do their bit for the spiralling levels of obesity in children and is part of package of measures designed to encourage healthy eating.
Producers have added a number of allusions to healthy eating to the new series, which will also show celebrities such as Hilary Clinton and singer Alicia Keys hailing the virtues of avoiding junk foods.
Other characters will also get in on the act, with Elmo expressing his love of exercise, the Count urging viewers to count their fruit and vegetables and Big Bird speaking of the joy of hand-washing.
"Sesame Street is concentrating on the need to teach children about healthy foods and physical activity," the show's vice-president Dr Rosemarie Truglio said.
"Each episode will open with a health tip about nutrition, exercise, hygiene and rest."
I'd say the Milky Bar Kid is shitting it..
