In response to the growing crisis of childhood obesity, the children's show will spend much of the coming season teaching kids how to get more exercise and enjoy healthier foods.
No, Cookie Monster isn't being turned into a "Carrot-Stick Monster." But he will learn that, as one of the show's new nutrition-oriented songs puts it, "A cookie is a sometime food."
About half of the 26 episodes this season will focus largely on healthy choices, and most episodes will include that subject as at least a partial component of the show.
Episodes will stress the importance of nutrition, physical activity, size acceptance and other issues, including the question of how to get a reluctant child to try a new food.
