Cookie Monster on 'Colbert Report'

A recent segment of Comedy Central news-ertainer Stephen Colbert's Colbert Report saw the host take Cookie Monster to task for pushing balanced diets and fruits' and vegetables' role in them in lieu of his traditional, one-plank "COOKIES!" position.

Colbert assails the muppet's mission creep, at one point calling fruit "un-American" and saying he eats fruit only in "loop or pebble form."



Maybe Produce for Better Health president and CEO Elizabeth Pivonka should have her people call Colbert's people.

Oh, I’m not sure, but I think Mr. Colbert might have been reaching for a little sarcasm there. He probably likes Mr. Monster, and fruit too.
