Adam channels Oscar the Grouch submitted by willow on May 16, 2017, 2:38pm This is a fairly judgmental episode, in which Adam, who is trying to fast, analyzes the behavior of the butcher and finds it lacking, and also interrogates a basketball player about why he is not fasting during Ramadan.

It would be nice if Adam's World didn't have such a negative attitude toward every topic. It is not admirable to put others in "gotcha!" situations and try to appear more pious, nor try to shame others who are not fasting (especially as some people may be exempt from fasting). It would have been better to focus on adults who ARE fasting and other ways that young children can participate in Ramadan activities, such as charity. The section on Indonesia was more pleasant in tone.
