Sesame Street is weighing in on the issue of increased obesity and diabetes in the country. Sesame street characters including the cookie monster will team up with celebrities, to create shows that will focus on healthy eating habits.
Back in 2003, Sesame Street and PBS were criticized for airing ads for McDonalds before and after the show. And in 2004 the muppets even appeared on an ad for Pizza Hut.
Will the new Sesame Street leave behind sponsorships from these fast food companies as it turns a healthy leaf?
