It's the biggest scandal to hit airwaves since who knows when.

Bigger than Lunatics, bigger than Batman Beyond, bigger than Tiny Toons.. it's cookiegate.

Talking eggplants and carrots...so they expect kids to grow emotionally attached to these characters...and then eat them? Or will we see Cookie Monster go on a murderous rampage scarffing down these personified veggies? ...little green screams...

As a 17-year old male, I still think the majority of vegetables taste like sh*t.

My opinion hasn't changed much from when I was 5. Cookies are still better then carrots.

I mean...do you really expect this to drasticaly change 5-year olds? I doubt it.

Hell, even now, I hate working out. But I do it because it's good. You can't teach a 5-year old that psychology.

Just make all veggies round and cookie-shaped.

I dont think giving a carrot a face, googly eyes, and a cute high pitched voice will make little kids want to eat them. Do kids want to eat Elmo shaped objects? Or what about big yellow birds? I doubt it. familiarizing children with food they are supposed to eat as characters will only make them rebel against them more claiming they are their friends, and that they can do tricks, talk and dance.

Thats a genius ideal. We can also add some some oatmeal and rasins to them, or chocolate chips, then replace the veggies with some type of floury mixture for better shaping, like a sugary dough and throw the veggies away.

Back on topic

Ive alwase prefered veggies and fruits over other sweets. cookies and candy alwase leave an artifical sweet flavor in your mouth after eating them. veggies have a more wide range of flavors. candy alwase tastes like candy(some even taste the same even though there differnt flavors) but depending on how you cook the veggies you can make them taste sweet, sour, hot, mild, tart, crisp or melt in your mouth delicious.
