Sesame Street for Adults Only

Awhile back I posted a link to a Sesame Street Video showing a mom breastfeeding her baby. The most natural thing in the world, right? But I said that they probably wouldn't show that same video today. I don't understand why we're going backwards and not forwards on stuff like this. But anyway, my statement could not have been more true.

Everyone my age grew up with Sesame Street and loved it. I was literally just telling my parents that I hoped they would release the original episodes on DVD some day. Well, that day has come. Hooray! But now I find out that they have labeled the DVD's as Adult Only. WTF? They feel that Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch aren't appropriate for kids today. Cookie Monster might promote obesity. Oh. My. God. Seriously? Who made this decision!?

This is ridiculous. Cookie Monster is now an outcast. I LOVED Cookie Monster as a kid and I can say with confidence I am nowhere near obese. Give kids some credit! Jeez.

Sesame Street Rocks

I was reading The Motherwear Breastfeeding blog and they have recently posted a couple of classic Sesame Street Clips.

The sad thing is, I don't even think they would show this today. I still remember watching Sesame Street as a kid and can sing some of the songs I learned. It seems like all of the kids shows today are all about pushing our kids to learn faster, be smarter or somehow better than average. Why can't we let our kids be kids?

Breastfeeding is natural and normal. Simple messages like this make my heart happy. I wonder if you can buy old Sesame Street episodes on DVD?
