I agree... I see no issue here.
Someone suggested above that there was an implication that TV was they reason for child obesity... That may or may not be the case but that isn't what's being said here.
Sesame Street was designed on the premise that children have short attention spans. The creators of the show noticed that kids paid attention to the commecials more than the show they were watching on TV and decided to create an educational show that tapped into that vibe. They would educate children by using the language of advertisers (i.e. short and to the point). So ultimately Sesame Street is just an educational ad.
In thatvein, having Cookie Monster make healty choices is not implying that TV is to blame rather they are just inserting a new message into the educational stream. And quite frankly I can't disagree (and don't see how anyone could) really disagree with the message that making healthy choices when eating is a good thing (even if sometimes you are allowed a cookie).
Cripes, you'd think we were discussing whether Han shot first...
