Oy vey! Political correctness hits "This Little Piggy"

We're all familiar with the children's game "This Little Piggy." "This little piggy went to market... this little piggy stayed home... etc. etc." Well, my sister gave my daughter a really cute "This Little Piggy" book for Christmas. The book is small and attacked to the palm of a colorful glove with pig puppets for the fingers. It's just absolutely adorable and my daughter loves it. I did notice, however, that it is not the traditional version of "This Little Piggy." It's a, well... a liberal version, I guess:

This little piggy went to market.
This little piggy stayed home.
This little piggy had cookies.
This little piggy had fun.
And this little piggy said, "Wee, wee, wee," all the way home.

Roast beef (an evil red meat) has been replaced with the more animal-friendly cookies, and instead of the poor fourth piggy being stuck with none, he has fun in the happy-go-lucky world where nothing bad ever happens. Bleh!

Well, my daughter's only 1, so she won't know the difference if I use the traditional version where the one piggy has some nice and tasty pieces of dead cow and the other piggy has to face a cold, dark, unloving world of poverty and starvation. *winkwink* Unfortunately, my son can read and he's already been brainwashed by the book. I simply can no longer convince him that the one piggy gets roast beef and the other gets none. Congratulations, liberals! You've won yourself another convert!
