[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cringe when I see programs that give low income mothers disposable diapers and baby formula. 
To me, that is the perfect demographic to push the idea of cloth diapers and breast milk. Why don’t we give them cloth diapers, complete with covers, and breast pumps? 
Why can’t they use their own money to buy the junk. 
As a matter of fact, why aren’t we taxing disposable diapers? Each diaper should cost at least $5 to slow folks down. [/quote]

The only people who should use cloth diapers are the wealthy

They have a disproportionately high negative impact on the environment compared to middle class and poor people.

Bigger houses for small families
Multiple homes
Multiple cars
More travel, especially air travel
Fewer people in their private jets
More amenities like swimming pools and things that use a lot more electricity like multiple electric cars, 2 AC units in their bigger homes, buying more things

The poor people have a low impact on the environment in comparison.   Let them have their disposable diapers.

You get the cloth diapers.
