Growing up, Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster was all about the cookies. He was a cookie monster after all. But now a days there is a big healthy eating push and somehow, a big blue muppet has more say in what kids eat than parents. Course that could be because the parents sit the kids in front of the TV all day.

Anyway, Matt Lauer did an interview with Cookie Monster to get all the details. Is he giving up cookies? Is he going to be the Fruit Monster? Watch and find out.

One of the best things about this interview is it’s poking fun at the media. I totally agree, the media does blow everything out of proportion and people just need to learn to relax.
