Desperate parents reveal how formula crisis has left their babies hungry, sick and at mercy of price gougers charging up to $600 - as they demand Biden takes decisive action to fix it
Daily Mail UK ^ | May 12, 2022 | Natasha Anderson

Concerned parents are begging the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reopen the nation's largest baby formula plant after the nationwide shortage has left their infants hungry and ill.

Families from across the America reached out to DailyMail.com, detailing their struggles and pleas for help as store shelves meant to hold formula remain barren and price gouging resellers auction the products online at ungodly mark-ups.

One mother, whose six-month-old son has a severe dairy allergy, shared heartbreaking photos of a rash that overtook her infant's back after they were forced to switch formula brands.

A father who traveled to more than a dozen retailers within 20 miles of his Pennsylvania home said he resorted to spending nearly $600 on eBay to get the formula his child needed.

Meanwhile, Republicans sounded the alarm Thursday after discovering baby formula is being sent to border facilities while American mothers are facing empty shelves amid massive shortages.

President Joe Biden will make his most visible move to try to tackle the shortage, as he meets with retailers and manufacturers on Thursday to try to find a way out of the crisis. The White House is also expected to announce new administrative steps to try to get more formula onto store shelves.

'This administration needs to treat this as the public health crisis it's at risk of becoming, rather than like a recall of any other replaceable food product or supply chain shortage,' father Chris Arroyo said, slamming the White House's response to the crisis. 'Leaving this in the FDA's court is not solving the problem.'

Struggling mothers also shared the intimate details of their journeys with breastfeeding, with some noting they started to do so more and others sharing how they are devastated they can't nourish their child through breast milk.

The only decisive action Biden has ever taken is in grabbing at little girls.

Pardon my ignorance but are there no alternatives? My heartfelt concerns go out to those facing problems because of this, babies are pretty tough creatures but they do need help.

Biden doesn’t care unless you’re an illegal alien.

Notice that none of our POS media is running stories on this.
If this happened under Trump, he’d be impeached already.

Go gray, folks. The Bidet is Antifa.us.

Roll your anything. Baby formula included

Make gas from grass…the usaf has the recipe. Or use fast food oil.

Make water pie and nail soup, mush, and rice with white beans.

Homeschool.

Grow your own and make medicinal teas.

Barter.

Learn from the Amish.

Learn a trade from YouTube.

Read.

This is not the government of the USA.

We are the USA. They aren’t.

You are right here. Right now. For a reason.

Go gray.

One more situation that has landed directly on normal Americans’ kitchen tables. Go ahead - vote you some more Democrat. And freeze and starve in the dark.

Yup. A country in panic because we can’t feed our babies processed food. Like it’s good for babies while we all know it’s terrible for adults.

Just was on Facebook and one of my friends posted a formula from the 6p’s. Damn fact checkers posted that it could be dangerous. Folks are all over post going after fact checkers.

Easy…….mothers and fathers, take your babies to the border, swim across the Rio, enter Mexico. Take a breather, swim back across the Rio, enter the US and tell them your baby is starving.

All the while our side is more concerned about funding $40 billion to Ukraine and their buddies. Priority should’ve been our crisis... But instead power hungry POS bastards are more concerned about lining the pockets of their cronies! I’m sick of them. And watch the illegal invaders get priority in everything once they cross over. Mark my words you’re going to see the rats request another billions of dollars package to help the invaders find housing, food stamps, medical care etc. you name it.

I have been delving into the history of the rolling Stones sympathy for the devil . Watching them go through the process during recording session was interesting .seeing John Lennon dance to it the first time he heard it..and Mick Taylor blowing Keith Richards away when he played for them

This baby milk thing is outrageous..but it seems these days the Devil is dancing around like Jagger saying..so what’s puzzling you.. .it’s the nature of my game..

Apparently this is unique to this country. Here is a story about how the FDA does not let in a lot of brands from other countries and how the black market is booming:

When we have a digital dollar you won’t be able to buy even on the black market...the government will be sure your kids safely starve.
