Kate: Despite being male, I am/was aware of this (my mother had issues), hence my codicil, “women who can…”

Obloodyhell, yes, breastfeeding is best for children and for their mothers also. However, there are some women who cannot breastfeed successfully. In normal times, they can give formula and all is well.

I saw this on Powerline this morning:

The $64,000.00 question is – who is lying? After 2 years of the china virus do you trust the government bureaucrats and the politicians or do you trust big business, particularly pharma? Or are they all lying?

@ Mrs Whatsit > “And the poorer families mostly shouldn’t need to steal it, because of WIC. ”

TWIP has that covered.

}}} If there was currently a President Trump or a President de Santis, there would be a warp-speed-like program to identify & remove the bottlenecks in baby formula supply. Might be a few others. If there was currently a president Trumpsantis, there would be endless caterwauling -> on Inauguration Day <- about how it was "all his fault" and how he wasn't doing enough to fix it. :-/

Being male, unmarried, childless I can’t say I have a big dog in this hunt, thus haven’t spent much time investigating it, but…

Aren’t there strong indications that breast-fed children run healthier, with fewer issues like allergies and asthma?

If true, I would think that women who can, probably should, just for their kids’ benefit.

Formula has been locked up in the stores in my area for some years now, well before the pandemic, supply chain issues and all that. I’ve wondered why, because it seems rather hard to shoplift, not small enough to drop easily into a bag or pocket. And the poorer families mostly shouldn’t need to steal it, because of WIC. But I think Mythx has explained it. My backwater rural area has been desperately hard-hit by the opiod epidemic, with so many deaths that everybody knows somebody, social class notwithstanding. I didn’t know baby formula was used to cut drugs. That must be where it was going. We don’t have gangs descending on our stores here as in California, but we certainly do have gang members from the bigger cities running our drug trade. They must have figured out some way to steal it, by distraction or whatever, that taught the stores to lock it up.

Now, the locked-up cabinets are pretty much empty anyway.

Molly Brown. You may be right about the workers. But it seems to be a management/supervision failure.
