SESAME STREET Presents ‘FOOD FOR THOUGHT: EATING WELL ON A BUDGET’
SESAME STREET TACKLES FOOD INSECURITY CRISIS THROUGH
‘FOOD FOR THOUGHT: EATING WELL ON A BUDGET’
Free Outreach Materials and Brand-New Muppets, ‘The Super Foods’ join Award-Winning Chef Art Smith in the effort
UnitedHealthcare and the Merck Company Foundation partner with Sesame Street in this latest addition to the Workshop’s Healthy Habits for Life initiative
New York, New York, November 23, 2010— Seventeen million American children—nearly one in four—are food insecure, meaning they do not receive food that meets basic nutritional needs due to financial instability. Of these children, more than half (9.6 million) are under the age of six.1 In response to this, Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit organization behind Sesame Street, with funding and partnership support of UnitedHealthcare and The Merck Company Foundation, today announced Food for Thought: Eating Well on a Budget, a bilingual (English-Spanish) multimedia outreach initiative designed to help support families who have children between the ages of two and eight, cope with uncertain or limited access to affordable and nutritious food.
In conjunction with the official rollout, the program’s contents will be unveiled on December 7th by Gary E. Knell, President and CEO, Sesame Workshop, Russell C. Petrella, Ph. D, President, UnitedHealthcare Community & State, Richard T. Clark, Chairman and CEO, Merck, and Sesame Street’s Elmo at a community event at the Capital Area Food Bank in Washington, D.C.
The Food for Thought program will provide families with an educational outreach kit, which includes an original video featuring the debut of four new Sesame Street Muppets, the “Superfoods.” The video also features Elmo and friends, along with real families as they try new foods, learn about the importance of healthy snacks, and discover that sharing a meal together is a perfect opportunity to connect as a family. There is also a special section for parents and caregivers that addresses the social and emotional issues related to food insecurity; and a segment with award-winning chef Art Smith, who shows families how to stretch a meal and shop locally while saving money. Additionally, for the first time ever, the Muppet story featured in the outreach kit will air on Sesame Street on PBS on December 8th (check local listings).
Sesame Workshop laid the foundation for this project beginning in 2004 with Healthy Habits for Life, a multi-year initiative aimed to teach parents and children that health and well-being is just as crucial to child development as learning how to read and write.
As the country’s economic status continues to take its toll, the number of young children confronting food insecurity continues to increase, as do the subsequent effects on children’s health, school performance, growth, and development.
Through Food for Thought: Eating Well on a Budget Sesame Workshop will extend the Healthy Habits for Life Initiative by educating families on how to nurture their children’s overall development through good nutrition—even in the face of tough economic or social decisions to create positive effects that last a lifetime.
“Sesame Workshop’s sole mission is to help children reach their highest potential. As part of our overall Healthy Habits for Life initiative, Food for Thought is essential in helping children learn the importance of developing a healthy lifestyle by eating nutritional food despite a low or reduced income and helping them succeed in school…and in life,” said Gary E. Knell, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sesame Workshop. “We are so happy to have the support of two incredible organizations such as UnitedHealthcare and The Merck Foundation to make this initiative possible.”
“We share Sesame Street’s commitment to help families and communities make nutritious food choices and we are proud to sponsor Food for Thought as a crucial addition to our comprehensive programs promoting healthy lifestyles,” said Russell C. Petrella, Ph. D, President, UnitedHealthcare Community & State. “This initiative supports UnitedHealthcare’s mission to help people live healthier lives by promoting sound nutritional and exercise programs.”
“Hunger and malnutrition are preventable, yet American children continue to suffer from these conditions at an alarming rate," said Richard T. Clark, Chairman and CEO of Merck, a global healthcare leader. "Through education and partnerships like Food for Thought, Merck is helping families start on the right path to wellness through lifelong healthy eating habits.”
The Food For Thought resource kit is designed to:
•Assist children and families in achieving a balanced and healthy diet by educating them about nutritionally sound foods that are easier to access and that are good for child development,
•Support families facing economic challenges to model and encourage children to eat healthy foods and be physically active,
•Provide resources that allow both children and adults to make healthy food choices based on simple and familiar messages, including sometime and anytime foods and eating a rainbow of colors; an
•Inform families about locally available resources and programs for them and their children to access nutritionally sound foods.
The 400,000 kits will be distributed through UnitedHealthcare, The Merck Foundation and other key organizations including National WIC association, Feeding America, Head Start, Meals on Wheels and other key organizations. The initiative will also include two public service messages promoting trying new foods. All bilingual materials will be available at www.sesamestreet.org/food.
The "Food For Thought" resource kits are coming soon! Check back here on December 7th.

Henson Puppets Lie in New Late Night Game Show
"Late Night Liars" is billed as a raunchy comedy game show, each episode will feature two human contestants facing off against a panel of four "celebrity puppets" who are drunk and telling half-truths.
"I look forward to working with GSN and Henson Alternative to carry on the wonderful tradition of game shows such as ‘Hollywood Squares’ and ‘Match Game’ that gave me so much pleasure as a kid," said Miller. "Jim Henson made a great discovery many years ago when he realized that pretending puppets are people is far easier than dealing with people who are puppets."
Among the cocktail-swilling puppet characters to be included: Cashmere Ramada, described as a famous "celebutante and tabloid target," and Shelley Oceans, a brash comedian. Contestants vie for cash prizes by deciding whether the puppets are telling true or false stories.
"Late Night Liars" begins 11:00PM EDT on Thursday, June 10, 2010 on the GSN channel.

Sesame Street Safari of Fun preview
Former Land of the Dragons childrens section of the park. Land of the Dragons will be replaced in spring 2010 by Sesame Street Safari of Fun.
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay welcomes families to an all-new, Sesame Street-themed, sunny, funny playland featuring Elmo, Big Bird and all their friends. Sesame Street Safari of Fun will be filled with rides, shows and adventures that celebrate the spirit of Africa. Sesame Street and Busch Gardens unite to create a signature attraction found nowhere else. In addition to the rides and play areas, families also will be able to watch their favorite characters on the big screen. “Sesame Street presents Lights, Camera, Imagination!” will run in the park’s 4-D theater, located in Timbuktu. And families can share breakfast and lunch with Elmo and the rest of the characters on select days at an outdoor dining facility adjacent to Sesame Street Safari of Fun.
Sesame Street Bound for Busch Gardens
The Muppets are preparing to move in at Busch Gardens. The Tampa theme park plans to open its Sesame Street Safari of Fun area with a small roller coaster, water elements, playground and photo ops in March.
A tour of the construction zone last week revealed workers pounding away at several aspects of the area. Most apparent on the landscape is Air Grover, a family coaster featuring the friendly blue character sporting a World War I pilot outfit and giving a thumbs up. (The rear is brought up by a camel character.)
It's geared to children, of course, but it's not devoid of thrill elements. It maxes out at 23 mph and a hill that should look pretty dang high — 23 feet — to little guests. A snarkier person might call Air Grover a gateway-drug coaster because it temptingly stands in the shadows of the more adult, more intense SheiKra and Gwazi.
"Busch Gardens for a long time has had a wonderful inventory of roller coasters, arguably the strongest in the Southeast. But we didn't have your child's first coaster ride," says Donnie Mills, Busch Gardens' executive vice president and general manager. "With Air Grover, we do."
The height requirement for Air Grover will be 38 inches if accompanied by an adult, 41 inches for solo riders.
"It will be perfect for children and parents to ride together," says Mark Rose, vice president for design and engineering.
Air Grover photos available for purchase will read "my first coaster ride."
Another major attraction will be the water-play area named Bert & Ernie's Watering Hole with water jets, dumping buckets and geysers. Splash zones are big hits in many attractions, from Gatorland to Epcot.
"We think it's going to be incredibly popular," Mills says.
Interaction with Sesame Street characters will be common in the new area, Busch officials say. Adjacent to the Bert & Ernie water attraction will be a pavilion to host character breakfasts and lunches.
"Ten of the Sesame characters will be here all the time," Mills says. The walk-around versions of Muppets — including Cookie Monster, Elmo and the Count — will promenade through the Safari of Fun five times a day, ending with a stage show.
A meet-and-greet building called 1-2-3 Smile With Me includes a very tall doorway through which very tall Big Bird will enter for photo ops.
"Characters are an integral part of the experience," Mills says. "We can't do it without them"
The new area, wedged between the park's Bird Gardens and Stanleyville, will replace its Land of the Dragons kiddie area.
"This is really a nice progression and nice fit through the play elements and activities — quite honestly an area we needed to do a little better in was young children," Mills says.
Other things to expect from Safari of Fun:
•Muppet merchandise will carry Busch Gardens branding. "It will be different than what you can buy at other retailers," Rose says.
•A mural of animal silhouettes will incorporate Big Bird at its center. "That shows he's truly come to Busch Gardens," Rose says.
•Land of Dragons rides are being retooled into a Sesame Street motif and renamed. Look forward to Elmo's Safari Go-Round, Snuffy's Elephant Romp, the Count's Zambezi Rally and Zoe-Patra & the Hippos of the Nile. Some previous ride characters will be given googly "Sesame eyes" to complete the redecoration.
•A new swing ride will be called Rosita's Djembe Fly-Away.
•The pastel look will be repainted with "Sesame colors." Think primary.
•The Muppet influence will go beyond the gate of Safari of Fun. A "4-D" movie called Sesame Street Presents Lights, Camera, Imagination will be presented in a theater in the Timbuktu area of Busch Gardens.
