Sesame Street Muppet Pitches Government Dependence: Free Food at School By Eric Scheiner December 9, 2011 Subscribe to Eric Scheiner's posts
(CNSNews.com) A food insecure Muppet is helping to promote a national Food for Thought campaign that teaches poor families to seek out nutritious food and to eat on the taxpayers tab.
At the National Press Club on Thursday, Lily the Muppet who worries about her family not having enough money to feed her properly -- pitched free food at school:
Sometimes we can't always afford to buy all the food that we need, Lily said. I mean, but we've been finding lots of ways that we can get help...Yeah, for example, at school I get a free breakfast and a lunch...part of the meal plan."
Lilys message is being circulated through schools, hospitals and food assistance programs as part of Sesame Streets Food for Thought multi-media campaign, which includes DVDs and a booklet listing services that can assist your family as well as referrals to social service agencies.
Organizers say they have produced a million of the kits.
At the National Press Club on Thursday, the Rev. Douglas Greenaway of the National WIC (Women, Infants and Children) Association lauded Sesame Streets Food For Thought campaign even linking it to federal deficit-reduction.
What Food For Thought does is remind people that eating healthy now gives them a good health outcome in the long term. So the folks youre looking at up here, the programs that they represent, what Food For Thought does is really a deficit reduction strategy, and we hope policymakers will take notice of that, Greenaway said.

My mother used to put us to bed early. I would be in bed and the trumpet charge announcing F-Troop would play. Me and my sister are still laughing at 8:00. They’d be telling us to go to sleep. Who can sleep with the cannon knocking the tower over?

Television is all about teaching children the correct ‘Worldview”.
The sodomites and Marxists now have complete control over MSM. They don’t even try to HIDE their propaganda anymore-—public schools have created stupid parents through behaviorism and propaganda and lies (Heather has two mommies).
Your children—if they watch their programing—will be indoctrinated. Their perceptions and ideas are imbedded permanently—and to change their perceptions later with reason and logic and even biological facts-—will be nearly impossible.
Cultural Marxists call is cognitive dissonance and it removes rational thinking and conditions people into a Skinnerean One Way to respond—that Marxist way. Homeschool and destroy the TV. Preview programs before your children absorb their sick messages which destroy reason.
Get Smart and Gomer Pyle, USMC were also popular in our house (though I am now ashamed to admit I was probably 7 or 8 before I realized that US Marines actually did things besides raking gravel and entering singing contests)
Which Muppet is it? Miss Piggy? Gotta get everyone on the public teet. God forbid that anyone support themselves.
It is good to know that there was one other young person in the 70s besides myself that didn’t like Sesame Street.
WWW, Perry Mason, Kojak, Barnaby Jones, Quincy, and Rockford were my preferred kid TV shows.
I also picked up on Brit TV at a very young age too. The Goodies, Reggie Perrin, Monty Python, and Fawlty Towers were probably a big influence too.
Yep. Loved Fawlty Towers and Monty Python, along with Canadian import SCTV. My mom was NOT a fan of the edgy, scatalogical humor we saw on Monty Python.
No one I knew actually liked it! I think most kids (and parents) never thought about it, and simply assumed it must be popular if it was on TV.
Hell - it's PBS after all, so it was just bland, Politically-correct pap that the educrats assumed would be helpful in forming young minds. The same thinking applies most PBS programming anyway.
Big Brother is not always an angry large man stomping on your face with a boot.
Sometimes Big Brother is a brainwashing muppet.
Sesame Street: Your Big Brother since 1970.
It’s too bad that the only thing kids get at school these days is free food
Depending where they live, the kid also may get after schools snacks, and possibly dinner too.
It would be interesting to know how many of those classified as food insecure are also overweight.”
I thought all muppets were stuffed.
Thank you for that post about your blog. I have been wanting to do an experiment on my blog about the kinds of food people ate in the 50-70 years ago, when people were in better shape. Not the same as your blog, but it is for the same reason. Always looking for cheap and nutritious ways to feed the family.
When someone makes an old tv reference they get it and are confused that other kids don't.
Link?
Get Lily some food--so she can learn some English!
The DVD has a disclaimer at the beginning saying: "This program is for historical purposes only." Still brought back a lot of great memories. I didn't know Oscar was orange originally.
