Although he did appear rather scary to younger viewers due to the fact that he was eating the letter W. In 2006 concerns started to grow about the reason that children in the U.S. were getting too obese so early. And because of this PBS thought that some of this fault was because of the Cookie Monster and his habit of always eating cookies.

In 2007 the Cookie Monster appeared in the t.v. show with Martha Stewart defending himself and also teaching kids that cookies are a sometime food not a everyday food.
