In this clip, an excerpt from one of his performances at Carnegie Hall, George Carlin touches on a few important food-related points. Most revealing is the relationship between a person's visual impression of food and their eating habits, how a person can choose not to eat a food based simply on its appearance. Also, he brings up an interesting point about the stereotypes people create with regards to the eating habits of others.

In this embarrassing "music video" for the song "Healthy Food", the Cookie Monster raps about the virtues of eating healthy foods in addition to cookies. It's most likely that this video and the "Veggie Monster" idea were brought about by concerned parents, worried that witnessing a blue puppet eating cookies would influence their children's food choices. This video is ripe with arguments about today's society and today's parenting concerning kids, their education about food, and their eating habits.

Healthy food is important to us. We should have a healthy diet habit. What you mentioned is totally right, today's children's food choice is quite a big problem. Lot of kids don't like to eat vegetables which have lots of nutrition. Parents should educate their children in a good way and help them make correct food choices.
I think the Carlin video was entertaining and he made good points. It is funny how some people eat anything, despite appearance, and others are very picky and can be turned away easily.
I love both of your sources. Either of them would work really well for this assignment, and would allow you to explore equally interesting and important issues. Certainly, for me, the Cookie Monster video would tie into the problem of childhood obesity, which is a very hot issue at the moment. You might have to be a little more creative with the Carlin video, and think about food's role in creating and enforcing stereotypes, which would be a fascinating topic. In short, you're on the right track and I don't have a recommendation either way. Go with what interests you most!
both seem like very good choices personally id go with the seasame street video. It seems doing the method for that would be easier. But if you want more of a challenge and more creativity go with carlin
