The Politics of Diapers Mothering Magazine Article

An article from earlier this month on Mothering Magazine's site, entitled The Politics of Diapers  is an incredibly powerful timeline, chronicling the disposable diaper's rise to popularity and some of the damage that it's done. It reminds me of how car and tire manufacturers conspired against L.A.'s rapid transit system between 1936 and 1950 to create a market for themselves and make consumers dependent on their products.  I encourage everyone to take a little time out to give it a good read. It's definitely an eye opening write up.
