Sesame Street has joined the battle against childhood obesity.
First, it was Grover getting into the gym and pumping some iron.
Then, it was the Cookie Monster kicking his cookie addiction and switching to a diet heavy on fruits and vegetables.
Things were looking good in this battle between fit and fat.
Unfortunately, not everyone believed in the cause. There were traitors amongst us….
.
But luckily, for every Stephen Colbert, there is a Michelle Obama, willing to stand up against video games and Twinkies and Big Gulps.
On this weeks 40th anniversary show, First Lady Michelle Obama helped a group of children plant a vegetable garden on Sesame Street.
And just like those vegetable seeds will eventually take root and grow into mature plants, let’s hope that the message of eating healthy and exercising daily will take root in the minds of a new generation of Sesame Street viewers.
