Suddenly everyone is on the "fat people - lets get'em" band wagon. There must be a new weight loss program behind this sudden surge. I am moderately overweight and living in California (formerly of North Carolina). Recently a news article in the L.A. times cited that those who were over weight are costing Californians $22 million dollars a year. My employer supplies health benefits - I have yet to utilize them and have never had a problem of any type associated with my weight.

Look - Captain Kangaroo was a portly fellow and he had a long life - well he was Canadian and one must put on a little extra to stay warm. :) - Me... I want Cookie! I don’t get it.

It's okay to have a blue monster as a role model, but it isn't okay for the blue monster to eat junk food. In my opinion, part of Cookie Monster's charm is his inability to control himself when cookies are present. When did it come to this?
