LILY, THE HUNGRY MUPPET

[GraceG]

The new muppet looks exactly HOW Michelle Obama says we should all look.

Maybe they are promoting food insecurity.

Of course they could have used this puppet and covered both food insecurity and terrorism:

I heard that they renamed “Cookie Monster” to “Trash Monster” or “Green Monster” or something, because they thought “Cookie Monster” might encourage kids to eat cookies ( < gasp! > the HORROR!!!). Anyone know if this is true?

"Hi, I'm Lily the hungry puppet. Hey kids, let's go to a Walmart Anywhere U.S.A. My my, look at all the people walking around with pillows on their stomachs. What, those are actually their real stomachs? What a lot of fat hogs!!! Where are the poor, starving wretches? They must be lining the streets by the millions asking for crusts of bread from passersby. Although we didn't see any on our way here. But I did see some bedraggled guy with a Will Work For Food Sign at an intersection. In the background was a fast food place looking for help. Does that make any sense?"

I've actually seen a guy with the "will work for food" sign standing at an intersection with a fast food restaurant in the background asking for help.

“Food insecurity is a growing and difficult issue for adults to discuss, much less children,”

I guess the Swedish Chef won't be chopping wildly and sending morsels of food flying into the air any more. < rolls eyes >

Does any kid still watch PBS with all the kids channels on TV?

(s) That is sexist because it is encouraging girls not to eat so they can meet the fashion model stereotypes. Perhaps they should have a bulimia muppet too?(/s)
