What ISP's say to companies who want to use the internet, "Either you pay us to access your customers, or we break your kneecaps." This is about both monopolies and mafia business tactics.

I am the first born. My mother has told me that she would could the amount of protein she would get each day during her pregnancy with me. If she didn't get enough she would each more or drink a large glass of milk to try and supplement her diet. She didn't drink soda either.
With my younger brother she tried to make sure she ate enough protein, though she gave up not drinking soda.
With the youngest, my sister, she was working part time during her pregnancy and wasn't able to watch what she ate like with either me or my brother.
This all being said, we are no where near malnutrition. There is a considerable size difference between me and my siblings. I am 6'4" and have considerably larger bone structure than my siblings. (I'm not fat/obese/heavy. I only weigh 193 lbs.)
My brother is just a 6' and considerably smaller than I am. My sister is smaller than my brother and has a similar bone structure.
Might there be a biological imperative to ensure that the first born is healthy. Then with the later children parent lose the need to ensure their children are as healthy.
I don't think the world has changed much since WWII, just that the crimes are more nuanced and better hidden.
