Cookie Monster, the biscuit-eating puppet on US children's show Sesame Street, will cut down on his favourite food as part of an anti-obesity drive.

The blue-furred muppet who used to sing "C is for Cookie" will now tell viewers that "A Cookie is a Sometimes Food".

Each episode of the show's new series will begin with a "health tip" about healthy foods and physical activity.

A Sesame Street representative said the popular character would be "broadening his eating habits" in future.

Talking vegetables

"We are not putting him on a diet, and we would never take the position of no sugar," said Dr Rosemarie T Truglio, the show's vice president of research and education. "We're teaching him moderation."

New characters such as talking aubergines and carrots will be introduced, while guests stars such as soul singer Alicia Keys will talk about the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

Almost one in three children in the US is now overweight, as opposed to one in 25 in the UK.

Sesame Street begins its 36th season on America's PBS network on Monday. It is broadcast in over 120 countries, with more than 20 local versions being made.

Last year Cookie Monster - originally played by Muppets regular Frank Oz, the voice of Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear - revealed that before eating his first cookie his name was Sid.

C is for Cock. Cookie Monster is gay!

political correctness gone mad!

i'm sick of all this, "eat fruit, low fat, low carbs, don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs, don't have sex with animals, change your underpants at least once a week" bullshit!

his name was sid?


that is SO cute! hahahaha

i also heard he was gunna change his name 2 "cucumber monster"
think he and prince will hook up on some kinda "animal kingdom part 2" and have c.m. change his name 2 a symbol?

COMPLETE BLASPHEMY! That's almost as bad as when People were allowed to "see" Snuffy. It's disgraceful!

They should just call him Te Nookie Monster and be done with it!

I saw my mate Planet Dave get hit by a truck once and I had bits of his brain on me then he died twice, went into a coma, woke up, had the doctor tell him never to fly or go on a rollercoater again then came over to Tenerife with me and Wee Jimmy the next year and I thought Planet Dave's head was going to explode like Scanners on that plane, man.

A baby cousin of mine is an example of this. My uncle sitz there n givez me shit about stuff dat isnt even an issue for me and then when it comez to his 3 year old little girl (who is gorgeous i love her 2 pieces but stillz...) she's like "i wanna watch a dvd" parent: "no you can't watch a dvd" Bubba: " uhu uhu uhu i wannnaaaa watch a dveeeedeeeee " parent "oh, alright, here you go" *tearz very quickly dissapeared* i was like ...phwoarrr what is goin dowwwn!! This is what happenz, and then they fall in2 bad habitz, instead of letting them have their tantrum then eventually they'll calm down. Gotta be patient n firm. I'm no expert, i just know it'z supposed 2 be dat wayz. By my own perceptionz anywayz hey.
