NEW YORK -- The "Cookie Monster" is straightening up his act.
"Sesame Street's" beloved blue, furry monster is going to learn some
lessons about moderation as the children's show kicks off its 36th season
on PBS.
"Cookie Monster" will now advocate eating healthy. His "C is for cookie"
song has been replaced with a new song -- "A Cookie Is a Sometimes Food."
There's more.
The show's vice president of research and education says each episode will
open with a "health tip" and there will be new characters -- like talking
eggplants and carrots.
Show producers say with the rise in childhood obesity, "Sesame Street" is
focusing on teaching children about healthy foods and physical activity.
