I see no problem with it.
I think it's good that the CTW is encouraging healthy eating habits. Now, don't get me wrong, I certainly don't believe that television is the cause of all ills in the world, but I find it hard to believe that children don't take away
something from watching television and aren't influenced to a certain degree by what they watch. Hell, for that matter, I could point to a lot of adults who fall into the same boat.
That's not to say that Cookie Monster is causing children across America to scarf down bags of cookies. It would be great if parents were involved a bit more, but this is just a television show that's trying to do what they think is the right thing and I have to give them credit for that.
For what it's worth, I never really got the vibe from Oscar that he was pissed off because he lived in a trash can. I imagine it was the people banging on his lid just to say hi. Maybe they could do a very special episode devoted to Oscar's anti-social behavior.
