Sesame Street is addressing head on the issues of 50m Americans living with hunger (see Alex post here on the staggering data in the Economist recently) by introducing a new character.
Lily, who doesn’t know where her next meal is coming from debuts on Sunday… Sounds political for a kids show?
Or perhaps a face saving reaction to the parody of the OccupyWallStreet protests (see also map of spreading protests here) that developed on twitter’s OccupySesameStreet – see comment by Mother Jones here).
Lily is sponsored by Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
