it took a long time to realize just how deep their deprivation was. Finally a woman named Angie set me straight when she dumped out the solids and put a used diaper back on her baby. I explained how unhealthy this was. Angie told me she couldn't afford diapers. I urged her to buy more diapers with her food stamps. Angie told me she couldn't do that.
Food Stamps cannot be used for diapers, neither can WIC money and most laundromats do not allow diapers to be washed in their washers. Few Options available to the poor.
