If you all haven’t been privy to the Cookie Monster Mural drama this weekend in Peoria, you’re missing out. pic.twitter.com/QE16Jc0dDV— Katy Shackelford, AICP (@KLShack) December 7, 2020
I am a little disappointed the Cookie Monster got changed to the veggie monster. I get that they want to encourage kids to make healthy choices, but kids don't like vegetables and aren't going to relate to the Monster's cravings like they do with cookies.
Instead the Veggie Monster should have been introduced as a new character: the Cookie Monster's girlfriend who is encouraging him to make healthier decisions with his diet.
