I heard that the reason is that they don't want to teach children that secret friendships are okay, because child molesters could use that technique.
This strikes me as a more reasonable and less disgustingly PC change than the cookie monster thing. That's just ridiculous. Childhood is a time for enjoying cookies. Why can't they have Grover go on a vegetable kick? If a parent teaches a child good eating habits, I don't see how the Cookie Monster can undo them; nor can the Cookie Monster instill good eating habits where the parent doesn't teach them.

2 on everything except I didn't know that was the reason about Snuffalupagus. I loved Cookie Monster - though I never really thought that because he stuffed his face with cookies, I should too. Didn't make the connection.
