Hunger Hits Sesame Street

The famous children's show introduced a new puppet over a week ago, named Lily, whose family struggles with hunger. The show wanted to raise awareness among children and discussed the issue by sharing real-life stories, along with ways to help. The article stated that, "The United States Department of Agriculture estimates that 17 million American children - nearly one in four - have limited or uncertain access to affordable and nutritious food." The statistics are shocking, and I have no doubt the Sesame Street Muppets will do a great job handling the topic.
