So we were up extra early today with a sick child and flipped on Sesame Street in time to see the pre-show lesson. Some fruits and vegetables were signing about happy and healthy foods followed by Buzz Aldrin and Telly Monster discussing eating happily and healthy so you have energy to play. Seems like a good idea… but then the sponsor placements kick in prior to the actual show starting and the first sponsor as usual is McDonald\’s, which runs completely counter…sigh.
Once again, reflecting on yesterday\’s Cookie Monster – Cookies are a sometimes food – politically correct lesson… If the powers that be at Sesame Street were so concerned about childhood obesity, you\’d think they might consider not accepting money from McDonald\’s.
