In my day, students with free/reduced lunch tickets tried to hide them because they were embarrassed.
That is about right....
Even as a 5 year old growing up in early 70’s, there was something I really disliked about Sesame Street. I just couldn’t put my finger on it. Too preachy? Too soft? Too politically-correct? Too BORING!
“Sometimes we can’t always afford to buy all the food that we need, “
Since the Chump In Chief took control, neither can I.
Where do I sign up?
Can I claim my dogs as dependents?
Since I always make sure they have food before I buy my own, I should get a ‘eco friendly’ credit or something.

I,also, watched Sesame Street in the early 70’s.
However, once I entered kindergarten, became a latch key kid and had free access to the TV without adult supervision, I discovered the world of TV reruns,especially the one with James West and Artemus Gordon who could never tame that evil dwarf.
And is Lily obese?
It would be interesting to know how many of those classified as food insecure are also overweight.

I too watched it as a young tike in the early 70’s.
It was not nearly as corrosive as it is today.
Of course it could not match the attraction to me of more adult fare like Star Trek, Green Acres and Hogan’s Heroes.
It scared the hell outta me.
If that's the case, Gumby probably had you hiding under the bed.
Cool blog! I look forward to more cheap meal ideas!
I notice a lot of them are pasta. We grew up around a lot of Sicilian immigrants and their first generation kids. Despite the romantic imagery, life there was intensely poverty-stricken for most people. Hence the heavy reliance on herbs and pasta.
Now I hear many complaints that the local supermarkets jack up the price of pasta sauce every time the economy goes into recession. They know what people will be eating.
I hope they parody this on Pumpernickel Boulevard...
