...imagine what this means while volunteering at the Luoyang Welfare Institute, a state-run home for 500 orphans and foundlings, a majority of them disabled. What does it mean to buy three packs of macaroni for an arts and crafts project at 24 yuan, when that same amount could feed eight, clothe at least one, or pay for five haircuts? Should we spend more on food and supplies for the kids—hardly a burden on our wallets—when they wouldn’t expect such things anyway? It doesn’t seem to matter...
...normal," says Amadou Salou, a farmer in the town of Male Haoussa, a few hours' drive north of the capital, Niamey. Sheltering under a tree from the scorching mid-day sun with other village elders, Salou sets out the equation. "We have too many mouths to feed and not enough food," he says.

During the first year of life, experts say, babies self-regulate how much they eat; infants who aren't hungry will refuse another swallow, no matter how much parents try to feed them. But in the second year, babies, like adults, begin responding less to hunger pangs and more to social cues: Is Mommy giving me more? Has everyone else at the table had seconds? I want to snack in front...
...more positive side, ethnic communities are introducing other Americans to the notion that babies need not subsist on pabulum. South Asian parents offer curries in small doses at young ages. Hispanic parents give their babies tortillas and other ethnic dishes. "There is no good reason to feed babies bland food," says Nancy Butte, a professor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine. "It's culturally determined, not scientifically based...
