Yes really. He has a song about eating your veggies. He still eats cookies but not as much. The crazy soccer moms complained that the cookie monster was making their children fat because all they wanted to eat was cookies like he does. Now I'm a parent and I found that totally insulting as the TV doesn't raise my kids, I DO. The nuts won though and he had to become more healthy.
Sorta but he's still called the cookie monster. People that weren't soccer moms were pissed I think that might be the only reason the didn't change his name actually. There was a petition online to leave him alone so I think the compromise was they left the name alone but he now eats his veggies before his cookies.
I normally only have Choclate once a month some times 2 or 3 days but on a regular month only once. I only need it once a month if I ate it all the time I would be huge I don't want to get fat.
