Right on, Janet Simpson! Here in Vermont 40% of all babies
born are enrolled in the WIC program. There is no way to
generalize about such a broad group of families. My favorite
story about this issue involves a newspaper reporter who came to
a local clinic to interview "poor people" about a nutrition
issue and discovered - much to her embarrassment - that her
family was financially eligible for WIC services.
