The solution? Send in the Swedish Chef muppet!

Sell the TV and disconnect the cable, so you can feed the children!!!!!!!
They should have a staving North Korean character.
The left has been steadily saturating Sesame Street with leftist influence...
Sesame Street is going to have a starving muppet...
Nobody on Sesame Street is going to take it upon himself to step up and help this starving muppet so she isn’t starving...
Looks like they’re teaching the kids what the left is really like.
How about an aids riddled butt-pirate muppet? So that kids can learn the effects of being a homosexual.
This is simply brainwashing. The article states there are a record number of Americans on foodstamps. So who exactly is starving? Will this muppet have a single mother who is somehow impaired from using the foodstamps wisely? Besides substance abuse or mental illness from the parent(s), why would a child go hungry in America today?
I would suspect the above case won’t be the picture portrayed to the children.
Hello Kids, My name is Lilly. Me and my family are starving because of greedy corporations, the Tea Party and Republicans in congress. They want us to starve because they hate people who look different from them. There is a great man in the White House named Barack Obama who wants to help us, but he is being stopped by these mean people. Tell your parents to support the great socialist revolution! Together we can take the money from all the greedy rich Republicans and Jews on Wall Street and my family will be able to eat.
“Sesame Street will introduce a poor, starving muppet”
Not starving, no. Because even diehard welfare activists don’t pretend like the U.S. has a starvation problem. They’ll use the vaguer term “hungry,” but that’s also overdoing it, as we associate World Hunger with the distended bellies of African children. Welcome the euphamism “food insecurity,” which makes up what it lacks in drama by being hard to pin down. Using it, activists are free to pretend occasional uncertainty about future food—whether or not it is eventually eaten—is the moral equivalent of starvation.
My lib sister always moaned about starving kids. She told me that I didn’t know what it was like to have your daughter say that she was hungry. She said that her daughter would cry, “Mommy, I’m so hungry!” and there was nothing in the house to feed her.
I looked at her and said, “You had nothing in the house to eat, yet you smoked full priced Salems and drank Diet Coke? Why didn’t you spend the .99, skip a cola and get some Mac and Cheese?”
She said I just didn’t understand.
Where’s the starving children? I keep hearing about them but haven’t seen any yet. The only ones I see are in Africa and North Korea.
How about a protesting muppet named Pinko or even a union muppet wearing brass knuckles named Jimmy. All lib.
Obama is the king of poverty and starvation.
BTW, why doesn’t the hungry muppet have foodstamps? Racism
If Lily’s parents hadn’t used all their food stamp and welfare money to buy crack she would have enough to eat.
So where do those poor starving children get their flat screen TV to watch the show?
Dave Chappelle:
Little girl: Oscar, you’re a grouch.
Oscar: B!@ch, I live a f@&%ing trash can!!
I thought Oscar was the poor character on Sesame Street?
They probably got the idea from the Palestinians.
Apparently, published CDC and Dept of Ag research indicates that the nutritional intake of calories, protein, various vitamins and minerals - all the healthy, nutritional stuff - is roughly equal across socio-economic classes in the US.
The only difference noted was the higher proportion of obese women in the lower classes. (Big surprise).
Well, I’m sure that won’t stop the propaganda from the leftist media.
Anyone, BTW hear that truly obnoxious PSA thing with that whiney woman talking about being one of the “one-in-six” hungry Americans? Gag me with a silver spoon.
“PBS Kids? Yeah, that's the channel with all the stupid shows on it.”
Interestingly, they watch some thing called “Hitalia”, in which all the characters are named after countries, and each one is blessed with the most unpleasant, yet completely true stero-types each nation has earned.
Example: “Italy” is weak and timid, “Germany” always starting fights, “America” is the tough guy, “Canada” invisible to other characters, “Russia” has a drinking problem and is constantly fighting “General Winter”.
They constantly ask me questions about countries and history. It's like nothing I could have imagined.
What a crock!
Just ONE photo of a child who even APPEARED to be starving would send the country into a tizzy.
There is no “there” there. This is propaganda.
