The New York Times has a story about how human beings have become larger, healthier, and longer-lived in the past century. The key seems to be whether your mother was healthy and well fed during pregnancy and whether you yourself were healthy and well taken care of during the first two years of your life. Healthy conditions and plenty of food early in life translate into longer life and fewer diseases. By contrast, trauma, illness and lack of nutrition early in life often have long-term ramifications in middle and old age, increasing the chances for chronic pain, debilitating diseases and senility.
If these studies are true, we should be devoting far more money than we now do to prenatal care, infant nutrition and social programs that benefit children and pregnant women-- particularly the poorest women and children, who are often the most vulnerable to nutritional deprivation, disease and trauma. A small amount of money spent during the earliest years of life will reap enormous rewards in human happiness, health, and productivity later on.
Unless and until we get that *majority party* change in Congress...I won't hold my breath that this GOP has anything more than lip service to Compassionate Conservatism.
Revere the Zygote - Revile the Child!
That is the extent or their commitment to the Children truly left behind.
