Science Gets It Right, But Not Always Immediately
American toddlers in the mid-1950s wore “baby shoes” like the pair shown here.
It turned out that the theory that young feet needed external support in order to walk properly was later discredited.
Yet, to have insinuated itself into our belief system at the time, there must have been some scientific evidence. That’s more than you can say for so many ideas we encounter all around us today.
BTW, who believes that modern parents don’t care about their children’s health?
