"For parents raising their kids in poverty, having to say “no” was a part
of daily life. Their financial circumstances forced them to deny their
children’s requests — for a new pair of Nikes, say, or a trip to
Disneyland — all the time. This wasn’t tough for the kids alone; it also
left the poor parents feeling guilty and inadequate.... Honoring requests for junk food allowed poor parents to show their
children that they loved them, heard them and could meet their needs."
