Sesame Street – Healthy Food

From 1987, Cookie Monster gets down with his bad self as he rhymes and raps about the importance of eating more than just cookies, in a much cooler way, I might add, than “Cookies are a Sometime Food.”

This copy of the video is a little raw (which makes it seem even more Old School), but the atleast audio is decent and uninterrupted (meaning there are no overlaping sound effects like in Monster Hits! where the beginning and end has applause)

Anyway, Enjoy this rad Chris Cerf classic =)

    I personally think …
    I personally think the Veggie Monster thing was started because our current First Lady has a thing about getting kids to eat healthy. Not that I disagree. But there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. And our First Lady’s thing is overkill. This show’s that Cookie Monster knows the meaning of the term “Balanced Diet”.

    Sesame Street …
    Sesame Street wrecked my childhood when the changed Cookie Monster into the Veggie Monster. =[

  7. Pooleman96 says:

    This is the reason …
    This is the reason why I wasn’t so surprised like everyone else when I found out Cookie was going to be seen eating a more balanced diet alongside his namesake food of choice. Because I saw this as a child, I knew Cookie wasn’t a picky eater, yet everyone else thinks it’s a new idea for the so-called “Elmo Show”. What the heck ever happened to rational thinking??

    You know, I was gonna mention, any food is an “anytime food”… just as long as you don’t over-abuse with eating the food.

    Like for ex: Eating carrots 24/7.

    there’s a reason he’s not shoving the healthy food down his throat like he would cookies…

    I know she exists, but people were saying she was coming to America, which she wasn’t. The uberconservatives were freaking out about that.

  22. TherealRNO says:

    Jankster: The …
    Jankster: The Muppet with AIDs thing is true though. Her name is Kami. She was made to help African children deal with AIDs, since that is an epedemic in Africa. In America, since obesity is a growing problem, the Street’s using Cookie to show kids that you must take things in moderation. It’s okay to eat cookies, but you must eat other healthy foods, too.

    This was made IN …
    This was made IN 1987. Jim WAS very much ALIVE still. In fact, he probably WATCHED Frank as Cookie perform this song, because Cookie has ALWAYS promoted healthy habits from as early as 1972.
