This has to be a new low. I grew up watching Sesame Street and remembered how Cookie Monster and the other monsters taught me how to count and spell . . . NOT EAT!

I understand that the obesity issue in America is affecting children at new levels. That the media has a big role in what our children buy and therefore we must address these issue. However, I grew up watching Cookie Monster and his gluttonous habits. I also grew up watching TV and being exposed to both cigarette and cereal commercials. However, I had common sense and parents that taught me how to eat right.



The issue isn’t the commercials. The issues isn’t the media or the cartoon characters that influence our children. (We’ve already addressed that issue in the Tobacco company) The real issue is the way we teach our children to eat right and make good decisions. Teaching our children to eat right and maintain a healthy lifestyle, educating them for a better tomorrow will be all we’ll need to prepare them for a better, healthier tomorrow.

Sincerely, Hector Guzman
