Actually, as a web development guy with lots of ideas, I'm really interested on what kind of money Neatorama actually makes. And you don't even have a donate button! Ch-ching!
Without reading the article, this seems like a bit of an ignorant point of view. I'd say they probably think it's "beautiful" because for however many generations they've kept doing it, and if you're the first one to have teeth, you'll be the odd one out, the strange one. Because of the diseases, the norm has been changed and is now a cultural thing. I don't think that they have this desire to cause pain to children, and seek out how to justify it, it's just become a new cultural norm.
... I thought it was a neat article...
